Abstract

Background: Person-centered support based on self-determination is needed for persons with intellectual disabilities to participate in society in Japan. However, work supporters may be unable to provide sufficient support for this purpose. Objective: This study analyzes work supporters’ implementation of necessary support to understand persons with intellectual disabilities’ support needs. Methods: This study compared persons with intellectual disabilities’ support needs with the implementation of support from work supporters at vocational rehabilitation agencies (Survey 1) and the support needs of persons with intellectual disabilities (Survey 2). Results: The results showed that the persons with intellectual disabilities most required support related to daily living. This was consistent with the support provided by the work supporters. However, there were situations wherein the smooth transition of support was not provided, which was attributed to the lack of knowledge and cross-disciplinary involvement of the work supporters in the employment-related welfare services for persons with disabilities. Conclusions: Possessing the knowledge and skills required for vocational rehabilitation and working in vocational rehabilitation agencies could contribute to the smooth transition of support for persons with intellectual disabilities. Accordingly, the results can clarify the required role of work supporters for persons with intellectual disabilities future participation in society.

智力残疾人社会参与的支持需求和服务提供

背景：在日本，智障人士参与社会需要基于自决的以人为中心的支持。然而，工作支持者可能无法为此目的提供足够的支持。目的：本研究分析工作支持者实施必要支持的情况，以了解智障人士的支持需求。方法：本研究比较了智力残疾人的支持需求与职业康复机构工作支持者的支持实施情况（调查1）和智力残疾人的支助需求（调查2）。结果：结果显示，智障人士最需要与日常生活相关的支持。这与工作支持者提供的支持是一致的。然而，在某些情况下，由于工作支持者缺乏知识和跨学科参与为残疾人提供的与就业相关的福利服务，没有提供平稳过渡的支持。结论：掌握职业康复所需的知识和技能，并在职业康复机构工作，有助于为智障人士提供支持的顺利过渡。因此，研究结果可以明确智力残疾人未来参与社会所需的工作支持者的作用。
