Summary
People with intellectual disability in Australia
Area of Science:
- Disability Studies
- Health Services Research
- Social Policy
Background:
- The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) in Australia provides individualized funding to enhance choice and control for participants.
- The impact of NDIS individualized funding on the wellbeing and decision-making autonomy of individuals with intellectual disability remains under-researched.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the relationship between NDIS individualized funding and outcomes related to personal wellbeing and the exercise of choice and control among adults with intellectual disability.
Main Methods:
- A longitudinal survey design was employed, involving 62 adult participants with intellectual disability.
- Validated instruments were used to assess personal wellbeing and levels of choice and control.
Main Results:
- Participants reported generally positive personal wellbeing, comparable to previous findings.
- While most individuals experienced significant choice and control in daily life, this was less evident in major life decisions.
- Living environment and health status (physical, mental, emotional) were linked to satisfaction with wellbeing and everyday choice.
Conclusions:
- Enhanced support is necessary for individuals with intellectual disability to gain greater choice and control over significant life decisions.
- Addressing disparities in choice and wellbeing is crucial, particularly concerning living arrangements, health, and future security.
