AbstractFamilies have to live with issues associated with the increasing intellectual disabilitythat largely affect the grownup. Those with intellectual disability and confrontchallenges in having to accomplish full independence are always subjects to seekinghelp from those closely associated with them like their relatives. On the contrary,having to depend on their families for care in the future is likely to be useful for suchindividuals and some families. On the same, such families require support to havetheir requirements satisfied or even those for their beloved ones diagnosed withintellectual disabilities. The kind of help and intensity of the same needed by thesefamilies is, however, undetermined due to research absence. Regarding our studies,the authors employed the push-pull model. This was to ensure that the confusion orattentions of these families are improved. The model would help in understanding thefact that the association of impacts that are carious have the ability to imposeeducational and methodological ramifications for the families providing such care,social law, support programs and approach change.
Research question1.How do families of adult diagnosed with intellectual disability perceive accommodation and vocational support services for their sick member?IntroductionFrom the statistical aspect, several reports from research activities show high numbersof disability with regards to the global population. Such activities are taken withreference to those experiencing any kind of disability preventing them fromparticipating in everyday activities or processes (Shakespeare & Officer, 2013). Thestudies revealed that about 5% of the global population happens to be experiencingdisability forms (Shakespeare & Officer, 2013). It is also shown that about 190million adults are faced with difficulties when it comes to participating in theiractivities (Shakespeare & Officer, 2013; World Health Organisation, 2017). One suchdisability includes intellectual shortcomings. Intellectual disability can be termed as ahealth condition by which people get diagnosed before they reach 18 years of age.Any person with such a disability happens to be kind of limited with regards to theirbehavior challenges, intellectuality, practical and social skills (Adnams, Akoury-Dirani, Bertelli, Cooper, Cooray, 2011). The condition is also represented in fourclinical categories. Such categories are mild, moderate, severe and profound levels(Adnams et al, 2011). In Australia, conditions related to intellectual disability seem to be on a high scale. Asearly as 2012, the Australian Bureau of Statistics reported that about 2,9 %(translating to 668, 100) of Australians were living with some kind of intellectualproblems. In the same year, the same condition was the most basic ailment in thoseextremely youthful and old. The predominance rate of the condition was at 4 % forthe young compared to 10% for the mature individuals (75 years and over). From thediagram below, the rates of intellectual conditions in Australia happen to be higher inmen (3.3%) compared to ladies (2.6%).Source: (ABS, 2012)
Families are supposed to provide care for their family and friends. Such services canbe fantastic; the experience is also cheerful. In spite of such imaginary results,concerns spring in relation to the well being of the carriers within the family. Thosefamilies that provide care are known to; however, consider the processes as beingoppressive though exceedingly enthusiastic. Such is due to the fact that the process ofcare provision requires continuous efforts and responsibility. From such reasons, thisliterature review provides an investigation associated with the convenience ofgrownups with intellectual disability living with their families or guardians. The paperwill also review the important period for identifying people’s life styles followed byinvestigating their convenient impressions with regards to future life ways and issues.Such will be done from the perspective of the careers and adult people withintellectual disability. It was noted by Boyes et al (2009), that there is no such thing asperfect accommodation for the adults with intellectual conditions. Therefore, there area few options left regarding the solution to such a condition against the growingdemand within the society. On the same, the solutions adopted for such men orwomen are commonly directed towards disastrous outcomes (Boyes et al, 2009).However, the mission that has been adopted to ensure that the older population withsuch an intellectual disability is managed has been devised. However, the number ofcareers is estimated to be increasing in and is likely to outlive their parents (MMurry,2009). The studies also show that the general population without such complex needs canhope to live to around 28 years longer than their predecessors (Cohen, 2016).Statistically, 90% of adults with such an intellectual disability remain living with theirfamilies until their parent passing away (Cohen, 2016). Therefore, families werenoticed to becoming less able to manage the increasing demand to have to care fortheir loved ones. Such is associated with the families worrying with the negativity oftheir health as well as those of their children with intellectual disability. Generally,family predictions go beyond the future of their children. Such is because they believethat no one else would be able to provide reliable care or support to their children asthey do through the years of their children’s lives (McConkey, Ryan, Taggart &Truesdale- Kennedy, 2012; Davidson, 2012). Also, some families get worried aboutthe future income security, choices and self determination of their children in casethey die (Hole, Stainton & Wilson, 2013).
The research studies noted that if families implement different intervention measures,there is a possibility of reducing the fears and worries regarding the future of theirbeloved ones when they pass away (Amado, McCorron, Macallion & Stancliffe,2013). The aged families have seen the importance and value of vocational activitiesafter their children got the access and inclusion into community life, schools,employment and social activities (Amado et al, 2013; Chien, Lam, Low &Wong,2017). Studies also showed that since 2007, countries such as Australia, Canada, USand UK have adopted different policies and practices to support ageing families andchildren with intellectual disabilities so that a better future can be planned for (Hole,Stainton & Wilson, 2013; Chien et al, 2017). TO ensure so, early interventionalplanning was introduced. Such planning schemes were aimed at supporting andbalancing the needs for both parents and children with disabilities needs (Hole,Stainton & Wilson, 2013). Also, parents were given a time to express their concernsand the interesting bits regarding their plans for their loved ones (Davys, Haigh &Mitchell, 2014). As the result of the interventions, families (having members withintellectual disabilities) alongside people with disability introduced different skillsthat would support them in making future decision regarding how they would livetheir lives (Davys et al, 2014). In addition, since 2013, the Australian government hasintroduced National Insurance Schemes to families and people with disabilities. Suchschemes would make these people manage their own lives (NDIS, 2017). BackgroundDifferent clarifications have been proposed for the ageing families or guardians whoare hesitant to give up their care giving jobs. Future arrangements happen to be anemotive subject. Carriers might not make arrangements because of the refusal of thecertainty of their own thought concerning the passage of their roles. Besides, theyexperience issues in surrendering their friends and family. Such is due to the fact thatit might mean the expansion of sadness or worries for them and a conclusion to theirpart in life. Likewise, families of people with intellectual illnesses have insightfulconcerns and tensions about what might happen to their relatives in manycircumstances (Hole, McConkey et al, 2012; Stainton & Wilson, 2013).Methodology Basically, the purpose of this study was to review how families of adults withintellectual disabilities perceive vocational and accommodation support services fortheir ill member. The review was conducted in stages including: making research
