“…Organisations providing services to people with IDs are increasingly being impacted by the supports paradigm, the QoL concept and the evaluation of personal outcomes van Loon et al 2010). Whereas the QoL paradigm was first introduced as a sensitising notion (Verdugo et al 2005;Verdugo & Schalock 2009), it has gradually become a multidimensional measurable construct that reflects significant impacts of supports, services and programmes on the lives of people with IDs and their families (Verdugo & Schalock 2009).…”

“…In the support paradigm (van Loon et al, 2010; see also Thompson et al, 2009), persons with ID can be integrated in the general labour market when the proportion of workers with ID does not exceed the natural proportions in the community. Several advantages exist in this model, including better financial outcomes, increased personal growth, adaptation of services according to people's needs, and greater social integration of people with ID (Migliore, Mank, Grossi, & Rogan, 2007).…”

There is ample evidence to show that people with intellectual disabilities (ID) face an increased risk of being socially excluded. The longer life expectancy of persons with ID carries new challenges. In this paper, we report on a follow-up case study of three Finnish women with ID. The women were interviewed twice (in 1995 and in 2013) and relationship maps were drawn pursuant to the interviews. In all three cases, the density of the relationship maps had decreased. In two cases, intimate relationships had remained or become even closer. In one case, intimate relationships were fewer. External services were inadequate in supporting the women to maintain their social relationships. Resources in the immediate families were decisive in determining their life course which was burdened by several extra obstacles. Some of these obstacles could possibly have been prevented if there had been a more permanent support system. The advantages and disadvantages of service and support paradigms are discussed.

“…Los apoyos garantizan la igualdad, aumentan la integración y mejoran el crecimiento y desarrollo personal; además se pueden evaluar de acuerdo con sus resultados (van Loon, Claes, Vandevelde, Van Hove & Schalock, 2010). El empleo con apoyo o la vivienda con apoyo, son ejemplos de modelos de provisión de servicios que pueden ser evaluados en cuanto a su eficacia y eficiencia para lograr mejoras en la vida de las personas con discapacidad (McCormack & Farrell, 2009).…”

El presente estudio analiza las necesidades de apoyos de una muestra de 285 adultos con discapacidad intelectual institucionalizados. El instrumento empleado ha sido la Escala de Intensidad de Apoyos, SIS (Verdugo, Arias & Ibañez, 2007). Los resultados revelaron la existencia de bajas necesidades de apoyos en cuanto al perfil general de la muestra, si las mayores necesidades están en las dimensiones de Aprendizaje a lo largo de la vida y la dimensión con menores necesidades de apoyos es Actividades de la vida en el hogar. Los años institucionalizados o la edad no se encontraron asociados con el nivel de las necesidades de apoyos, pero sí la severidad de la discapacidad y el género. Estos resultados avalan la validez transcultural de la SIS y su utilidad para planificar servicios orientados a mejorar la vida de la población institucionalizada con discapacidad intelectual.Palabras clave: Necesidades de apoyos, evaluación, discapacidad intelectual, institucionalización.
