“…Participants with mild ID have achieved much better socialization scores than participants with moderate ID. This finding is consistent with other studies (Kaljača et al, 2014;Umadevi & Sukumaran, 2012). However, some studies show that at an earlier age, basic social skills do not play a significant role in differentiating between children with different levels of ID , which demonstrates that, with age, there is a stronger relationship between intellectual functioning and socialization.…”

“…These mixed findings may be due to the differential gender roles in various societies (Ram, Strohschein, Gaur, 2014). Some authors have found no differences between males and females with ID in regards to socialization (Umadevi & Sukumaran, 2012;Umb-Carlsson & Sonnander, 2006), while others found better socialization in females in the area of selfdetermination (Nota, Ferrari, Soresi, & Wehmeyer, 2007), advanced social interactions (Kaljača, Cvijetić, & Dučić, 2014) and better behavior management strategies (Bakoč & Kaljača, 2019).…”

Introduction:The goal of this study was to examine the effects of gender, level of intellectual disability, mental illness, and setting type on socialization in adults with intellectual disability Methods: The sample consisted of 120 participants (60 males and 60 females), aged between 20 and 56 years, divided into two groups: 1. participants with intellectual disability without the diagnosis of mental illness (ID only) and 2. participants with dual diagnosis (intellectual disability and mental illness). Socialization subscale from the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale was used for the assessment of socialization.Results: Level of intellectual disability and mental illness had significant effects on socialization scores. In addition to this, interaction effect of gender and level of intellectual disability had a significant effect on socialization. Setting type did not have a significant effect on socialization. Conclusion: These results can be very useful in identifying participants with intellectual disability who might need additional individualized support programs in the area of socialization.

“…Although research conducted in Serbia determined that material and financial capabilities of families of persons with ID did not have a significant influence on the level and frequency of their participation in social, fun, and recreational activities (Kaljača, Cvijetić & Dučić, 2014), it is well known that persons with ID are often faced with the lack of material goods (Emerson, 2004;Emerson & Hatton, 2007). Therefore, the results of this research are interpreted by engaging support services for socially vulnerable groups which partly neutralize the negative influence of poverty of ID persons' parents (Kaljača, Cvijetić & Dučić, 2014). More recent studies determined that regardless of engaging support services, persons with ID participated in mentioned leisure activities significantly less than TD persons (Kaljača, Dučić & Cvijetić, 2018).…”

compared to male participants with ID, TD men had a higher total score (p=0.001), and better results in Health (p=0.021) and Productivity (p=0.000) domains. This result was also confirmed in female participants with the addition of TD women being significantly more successful in Intimacy (p=0.027) domain compared to women with ID. Statistically significant correlations among seven domains of QoL objective indictors in persons with ID were positive, ranging from moderate to high. The obtained results indicate the domains which require more intensive support so that people with ID could have the opportunity to achieve QoL which meets the standards of the community they belong to.

“…The work questionnaire was self‐reported by the young adults with intellectual disabilities at three time points and included eight questions relating to choosing and seeking employment, employment status, regular occupations, and the use of workplace services. The measure has been used previously with a range of populations, including intellectual disability (Kaljača et al, 2014), down syndrome (Foley et al, 2014) and cerebral palsy (Sakzewski et al, 2007).…”

BackgroundParticipation‐focused interventions are gaining momentum. The Pathways and Resources for Engagement and Participation (PREP) is one such intervention, and it was investigated in this study for its effectiveness in supporting participation in employment‐related activities for young adults with intellectual disabilities in Australia.MethodsThe application of the PREP approach was adapted to accommodate COVID‐19 restrictions. Data were gathered from multiple sources in a triangulating manner following a case study design. Measures of performance, satisfaction, and a third measure of involvement were collected using the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) in a multiple baseline format. The work questionnaire from the Assessment of Life Habits (Life‐H) was administered at three time points, and qualitative data were collected post‐intervention via a separate semi‐structured interview with four young adults with intellectual disabilities and the two occupational therapist facilitators.FindingsPerformance, satisfaction and involvement scores had increased for 75% or more of employment‐related goals at follow‐up, although these changes were not statistically significant. Visual analysis indicated improved Life‐H accomplishment scores post‐intervention, but satisfaction with employment scores did not change. PREP was positively perceived, but the young adults reported needing more support from their participation teams.ConclusionsThe PREP intervention shifts the focus from a skills‐based approach to a participation approach to practice and empowers young adults with intellectual disabilities to have greater independence over employment goals and related activities. COVID‐19 restrictions limited the application of the PREP approach, but the experience was still valued by the participants, although additional training and support for them and the PREP participation team working with them may have further enhanced their experience and participation outcomes.
