Data were analysed using template analysis informed by the Kirkpatrick framework.Results: Positive experiences with the programme related to observing, discussing and following up health problems in practice. Furthermore, analysis indicates concrete pathways linking learning to intentions for behavioural change and perceived impact.Conclusions: Training programmes that recognise support workers' roles in health support strengthen support workers' ability to identify and respond to health concerns, thereby helping to address educational gaps and improving everyday health support for people with intellectual disabilities.","PeriodicalId":73610,"journal":{"name":"Journal of applied research in intellectual disabilities : JARID","volume":"39 5","pages":"e70326"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13682912/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149228963","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study explored how young adults with intellectual disability and their families navigate the integration of formal and natural support systems.Methods: Using hermeneutic phenomenology, data were collected through initial and follow-up semi-structured interviews and two focus groups. The sample comprised 17 participants, including 10 young adults with intellectual disability living with their families and seven family members.Results: Two main themes emerged: the critical synergy between formal and natural supports in enhancing quality of life, and systemic barriers and future aspirations for integrated support. Findings highlight how collaborative care and partnerships reinforce skills and emotional well-being.Conclusion: Stronger connections between formal and natural supports may improve quality of life.

Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 28 primary school teachers working in Türkiye.Results: Teachers reported that inclusive education, when it supports children's active participation, enhances social skills, strengthens a sense of belonging, and promotes inclusion in the wider community. However, they also identified significant barriers, including overcrowded classrooms, long class periods, negative peer attitudes, and self-stigma. Although teachers expressed a commitment to inclusive practises, many reported insufficient experience, training, and confidence in supporting these children.Conclusions: Strengthening pre-service and in-service teacher training, revising curricula, and creating supportive classroom environments are essential for ensuring the meaningful participation of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities in inclusive education.","PeriodicalId":73610,"journal":{"name":"Journal of applied research in intellectual disabilities : JARID","volume":"39 5","pages":"e70321"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149198193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The interviews were conducted between October 2021 and January 2022, and data were analysed using thematic analysis.Results: Four themes emerged: informational and training support, financial support, psychospiritual support and social support needs. Caregivers required comprehensive information and practical skills, financial assistance to meet care demands, psychological counselling and spiritual guidance to strengthen resilience and support from family, friends and community networks to ease caregiving burdens.Conclusion: Caregivers of children with DD have diverse unmet needs.
