Participants ( n = 138) completed a self-report questionnaire adapted from an instrument developed by DeSimone & Cascella (2005) Journal of Developmental and Physical Disabilities, 17(1): 1. Support staff recognise that facilitating people with an intellectual disability to communicate is an important part of their role. Support staff indicate that when the importance of supporting communication is recognised and prioritised, it has a marked impact on the quality of life of people availing of residential services. However, front-line staff indicate that they do not always have the knowledge or resources to provide such supports. Lack of specialist support services such as speech and language therapists is identified as a constraint. It is suggested that an organization-wide commitment is required across front-line services to ensure that the right of people with an intellectual disability to communicate is upheld. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
