Abstract(s)
Objetivo: A nossa investigação tem como objetivo avaliar as necessidades
adicionais de suporte a jovens/adultos com incapacidade do Centro de Apoio
e Reabilitação para Pessoas com Deficiência – CARPD com idades
compreendidas entre os 16 e os 40 anos. Procuramos também determinar de
que modo as suas necessidades de suporte variam em função de fatores
pessoais, da efetiva participação nas atividades, da adequação do suporte
prestado pelo ambiente e da sua autodeterminação.
Método: Participaram neste estudo 25 jovens/adultos com necessidades
adicionais de suporte. Junto de cada jovem/adulto e do seu tutor/pessoa
significativa foi recolhida informação sobre: (1) as suas necessidades de apoio
nas atividades do quotidiano através da aplicação da Supports Intensity Scale
(SIS); (2) os suportes fornecidos pelo meio e a participação (ou não) nas
atividades; (3) a autodeterminação através da aplicação da Escala de
Autodeterminação (ARC).
Resultados: De modo global, as necessidades de suporte mais elevadas estão
associadas a jovens/adultos com níveis de incapacidade mais elevados, com
menor realização de atividades e menor nível de autodeterminação. As
“Atividades de Proteção e Defesa”, seguindo-se “Atividades de Aprendizagem
ao Longo da Vida" e as “Atividades de Trabalho e Emprego”, são aquelas onde
os participantes apresentam menor índice de participação e,
tendencialmente, onde o apoio prestado pelo contexto tende a ser menor do
que o necessário. Os resultados serão discutidos à luz da necessidade de
envolver todos os agentes da comunidades num esforço concertado no
sentido de desde cedo (desde a escola) começar a planear o futuro dos
jovens/adultos com incapacidade com vista ao seu projeto de vida.
Objective: Our research aims to evaluate the additional support needs of young people / adults with disabilities from Support and Rehabilitation Center for Persons with Disabilities - CARPD aged 16 to 40 years. We also seek to determine how their support needs vary depending on personal factors, the effective participation in the activities, the adequacy of the support provided by the environment and self-determination. Method: The study included 25 young people / adults with additional support needs. Next to each young / adult and his guardian / significant other was collected information on: (1) their need for support in activities of daily life by applying the Supports Intensity Scale (SIS); (2) the supports provided through the surroundings and the participation (or not) in the activities; (3) selfdetermination by applying the Self-Determination Scale (ARC). Results: Globally, the highest support needs are associated with youth / adults with higher levels of disability, less performing activities and lower levels of self-determination. The "Protection and Defense Activities", followed by "Lifelong Learning Activities" and "Labor and Employment Activities" are those where participants have a lower participation rate and where the support provided by context tends to be lower than necessary. The results will be discussed in the light of the need to involve all stakeholders in the communities in a concerted effort of, from an early stage (from school), starting to plan the future of young people / adults with disabilities, overlooking their life's project.
