Previous studies have indicated engagement in community-based activities and physical exercise are beneficial to individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID). The purpose of this study was to understand, from their perceptions, fun activities in which individuals with ID engaged. One hundred and sixty-nine participants with ID provided 561 responses, which described what they do for fun. A multidisciplinary research team utilized a Consensual Qualitative Research (CQR) approach to differentiate responses into a list of categories that fit into six central domains. Domains (with frequency of responses) included: Community and Relationship Building Activities (130), Sports and Other Physical Activities (123), Technology and Gaming (105), Music and Other Preforming Arts (69), Mentally-Stimulating Activities (51), and Categories Outside of a Domain (82). These findings indicate that individuals with ID have a variety of interests. Our discussion, which reviews literature on individuals with and without ID, suggests similar leisure activity engagement among both groups. This literature also suggests individuals with ID experience similar benefits to their peers without ID when engaging in leisure activities. Our results provide a framework to explore self-care routines that can improve quality of life for individuals with ID. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
