“…In addition, the value of the smaller‐scale studies could be questioned in terms of their potential for generalisability or their ability to allow for ‘conclusions and inferences about the wider population’ to be drawn (D'Cruz & Jones :71). Davys & Haigh () limit their sample size to 4 couples in their phenomenological study looking at the parents' perspectives, and whilst the small size of this study enables a depth of insight not available through larger studies, its potential to be generalised remains in doubt.…”

Accessible Summary• This paper attempts to find out why it is that many adults with a learning disability and their older parents and carers do not make plans for their future. • The author takes a look at other research to try and find the reasons for why this is. • The author finds that this may be to do with the type of relationship families have with professionals and if they feel able to trust them. • The author suggests ways to improve these relationships. SummaryThis paper reports on the key findings from a review of the literature on future planning for adults with a learning disability who live with older parents and carers. This area has gained attention in recent years, owing to the improved life expectancy of people with a learning disability and the increasing number who now outlive their parents. For those currently living with older parents and carers, this has major implications for the future, with the likelihood that formal services will eventually take over the care role. It is suggested that the presence of a plan for the future, formulated at a time of stability and in advance of any crisis, may lead to improved outcomes for this next phase of life. However, regardless of several policy initiatives to encourage active planning for the future, the take-up rate remains poor. This review of the literature seeks to offer an explanation for this through identifying the barriers to future planning as experienced by people with a learning disability and their older carers. The evidence suggests that there are ten key barriers to engagement in future planning. Consideration is given to each of these in turn, and a common thread is identified, that of the quality of the ª The Official Journal of the British Institute of Learning Disabilities relationships between the families and the professionals who they come into contact with. Gaps in the research are considered, and the need for further work identified to reflect the views of black and minority ethnic families and so-called hidden families who are not known to statutory services. Also highlighted is the lack of participation in the research of those people with more severe disabilities who use alternative methods of communication.

“…A range of literature from Australia (D'Cruz & Jones, 2004) and other countries (Christensen & James, 2000;Eder & Fingerson, 2002;Hendrick, 2000;Scott, 2000) reports the constraints which ethical considerations can impose on research with adolescents. These considerations, which may have affected the number of participants who ultimately volunteered to join this study, are found to discourage adolescents from research participation due to the amount of detailed paperwork, such as explanatory statements, and negatively influence their perception of the research topic and the researcher.…”

This article describes the experiences of four young people aged 18 to 25 years whose fathers were absent during their adolescent years. The study, located in regional Western Australia, sought to investigate how young people experience father absence, their needs and preferences in regard to any help seeking, and their evaluation of the effectiveness of supports used. Participants were found to share a combination of risk factors which were linked to negative psychosocial outcomes. Problems identified by young people included no one to talk to about problems and a lack of available services. Participants disclosed involvement in substance use, school misconduct and anti-social behaviour, and all reported early home leaving. Male and female participants reported using similar coping styles and a hierarchy of preference in help-seeking was found with friends and family preferred over counselling. Counselling was considered helpful when offered online or via drop-in services not requiring an appointment. Ethical constraints, however, were found to limit young people's participation in research.

“…It underpinned by fact reported by [15] that "there is a significant lacuna of research evidence which captures the thoughts, feelings and perspectives of PWD themselves". This study considered as Meanwhile, personal experiences and worldviews are valued and understood as being integral of the knowledge gained in the social work research process [16]. This has contributed to the increasing challenge of changing the role and perspective of social work in the disability sector.…”

Islam views that all people are equal before God. The United Nation Convention on the Human Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) also recognizes that all persons with disabilities (PWD 1 ) are entitled without any discrimination to the equal benefit of the law, including, the equal rights of living independently and being included in the community. It means that Islam and the international society recognize the equal right and inclusion of PWD. In contrast, previous research reveals that history has shown that PWD tend to be forgotten in a human rights context, whereas the PWD's inclusion is essential fulfilments of universal human rights. To discuss disability inclusion and disability awareness in Indonesian Muslim society, the author employs the qualitative method that allows the use of personal lived experience as a source of knowledge. Data was collected by unstructured interviews, and analysed using qualitative data analysis. The results reveals that the realities of Indonesian Muslim PWD is still discouraging due to exclusion and negative disability awareness among Muslim society. In conclusion, disability inclusion is closely related to how Muslim society aware that PWD are part of diversity as declared in the Qur'an, the Hadith and guaranteed by the Law Number 8/2016 concerning PWD.
