- Summary
- A Time to Move On from Congregated Settings: A Strategy for Community Inclusion (HSE, 2011) recommends a model of community inclusion to support people with an intellectual disability currently living in congregated settings to move to dispersed housing in ordinary communities. However, there is insufficient data on how successful community inclusion and community participation may be achieved for people with severe and profound intellectual disability. As a means of filling this gap, the research team, working with Inclusion Ireland conducted in-depth interviews with carers and service managers of older people with severe and profound intellectual disability to discern best practices, develop training and capacity building, and inform public policy.

- Summary
- The Intellectual Disability Supplement to The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (IDS-TILDA) is the first and most extensive such study to be conducted in Ireland or in the EU, and it is recognised internationally as pioneering in this field. This study provides the definitive and most nationally representative sample of older people with an ID. Within this study the now completed "Carer's Self-Completion Questionnaire" has a sample of 62 carers of older people with an ID living within family settings. The key methodology employed in this study entailed qualitative focus groups and interviews with these families. All focus group discussions were transcribed and data inputted into NVIVO with data analysed and mined to extract key themes and concepts. Objectives: . Describe the decision making process within families caring for an older person with an ID 1. Describe strategies for long term care planning within families 2. Describe patterns of transfer of care (parent to sibling, sibling to sibling etc) 3. Describe key family, economic, environmental, and social factors influencing strategies for long term family care . Illuminate barriers and enablers for families with an older person with ID 1. Identify pressure points for these families 2. Identify strategies, supports and enablers which sustain older people with ID within the family and community setting including the role of caregiving networks and supportive neighbours and communities . Identify best practice for supporting families with an older person with ID 1. Identify gaps between family experiences and the aspirations of contemporary ID social policy 2. Articulate the perceptions of families with regard to future policy 3. Propose models of support that facilitate family engagement and capacity in sustaining older people with an ID within the community

- An Intellectual Disability Supplement to The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing TILDA - Wave 1
- Summary
- Background & Aim: In Ireland and elsewhere there is for the first time a sizeable and growing population of older persons with intellectual disabilities (ID). This is an incredible success but also a tremendous challenge; we know little about their ageing and there is much concern that mortality is higher, health problems are greater, access to services and health promotion is poorer and quality of life is often compromised. A comprehensive longitudinal study of ageing (TILDA) is about to begin in Ireland. Use of the electoral register as a sampling frame will unintentionally exclude many people with ID. Use of the National Intellectual Disability Database will offer an historic and critical opportunity to create a supplemental longitudinal follow-up of ageing in persons with ID. Approach: Sample: There will be two samples; (1) a stratified convenience pilot sample of 50 persons with ID aged 40-70 years, (2) approximately 800 persons over age 40 randomly selected from the HRB ID database with an over-sample of those over 55 and those 40-49 living at home or independently. Measures: Measures will address health, cognitive status, activities of daily living, living situations, social life and overall quality of life. Measures will be comparable to these being used in the larger TILDA study and yet will address unique issues. Analysis: For the pilot sample analysis will focus upon usability of instruments and instrument reliability and validity issues. When the finalized protocol is then administered to the first wave sample of the longitudinal study, a descriptive statistical picture of the life experiences of adult persons of ID will be developed as well as comparisons between important subgroups and with the general population findings of TILDA. Implications: The study will provide the first comprehensive picture of ageing in persons with ID and prepare for longitudinal investigation of that ageing.
