Abstract:
This research sought to better understand the indicators of competitive employment for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs). Seven coaches of individuals with IDDs who were working with businesses that hire workers with disabilities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia were selected to participate. The qualitative phenomenological methodology was employed, with semi-structured interviews used for gathering data. An inductive method was utilized to generate themes during the coding process of the data analysis. To answer the first question regarding indicators of competitive employment for individuals with IDDs from coaches' perspectives, the findings suggested vocational training, parental support and education were all important indicators. Regarding criteria that are considered when employing individuals with IDDs, the findings stressed the importance of a suitable work environment. Regarding basic indicators that will culminate into employment, vocational training, parental support, education and psychological and social quality of life were all included. The importance of a suitable work environment and adequate support were additional determinants allowing individuals with IDD to reach their full potential.
