Conclusions and Implications Exploring the Career Identity Development of Students with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Author: Laura Hapke, Department of Recreation Management and Policy, Therapeutic Recreation Administration Option Advisor: Cindy Hartman, Department of Recreation Management and Policy Background Themes Conclusions and Implications Conclusion/discussion: future research q, conclusions of my study, Implications for future research Traditionally, gaining employment or enrolling postsecondary education program characterizes a successful transition from adolescence into adulthood Young adults with disabilities were significantly less likely to enroll in a postsecondary education program compared to their same aged peers in the general population1 Of individuals not enrolled in a postsecondary education program, only 38.8% were competitively employed1 Intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) is a umbrella term that refers to a disability “characterized by significant limitations in both intellectual functioning and in adaptive behavior, encompassing many everyday social and practical skills”2 Examples of I/DD: autism spectrum disorder, down syndrome, cerebral palsy, anxiety disorder, depression The U.S. Department of Education mandates that all public schools provide transition services to students with disabilities. This study found that students with I/DD do not perceive current transition services to adequately meet their needs Planning for the Future College “After I graduate I’ll probably wait a year and then go to a university...For the first 2 year I might go to UNH. And then the other 6 I will probably go to MIT.” Career No Plans “College? No. I'm thinking about just staying at home basically” “I would join the US military, the US Army branch.” Because students feel unsupported in the classroom they turn to their families, peers, pop-culture, and doing their own research to learn about career possibilities Students expressed interest in a program that would help them to explore career possibilities, learn more about their chosen career paths, and further develop their career identities Students feel they are inadequately supported There is a need for more transition programming Recreation therapy services can fill the void Sources of Influence Pop Culture “I quite enjoy the science fiction…I want to find out how I could make those scientific technologies a reality” Peers Recreation Therapy “[Recreation therapist] knows me and my passions and my wants … he helps me a lot by saying ‘Oh we could do this. You could do that.’ ” “I really want to join the army because my friend wants to go. And we're best buds. We protect each other and we protect our ‘six’ from stuff. Family School/Teachers Finances Internet Research Purpose Explore how high school students with I/DD are… … thinking about and preparing for their future after high school … developing their career identity … supported in the process of career identity development Recreation therapy (RT) is an accepted service under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act for. Recreation therapy… Aims to promote health and well being across cognitive, social, emotional, physical, and spiritual domains to individuals with disability Capitalizes on the inherently motivational qualities of leisure and recreation based interventions in order to reach therapeutic goals Utilizes an individualized, person-centered, strengths based approach Lack of Programming Others’ Expectations Personal Challenges Barriers to Career Identity Development Fragmented Support “[In special education classroom] some of us don’t feel like we’re being helped the way we want to be helped. Or we’re being neglected the things we need.” Finances “But still, 4 years [of college], that’s a lot of money…You’re still in debt even with a scholarship…Everything to me is money, everything to me is budgeting money.” Procedure Participants: Ten adolescents, ages 14-20, diagnosed with I/DD Receiving RT services through NH public high school Focus Group Discussion 3 semi-structured group discussions; n = 3-4 Explored perceptions of future, possible careers, sources of support in career development, and need for further transition programming Open and axial coding for emergent themes Performed by 3 researchers with differing backgrounds and specializations Final Thoughts Recreation therapy’s foundational goals, values, and processes align with many of the characteristics of successful transition programs. RT-based transition programs could provide students with I/DD the extra support they need to help them overcome the barriers to career identity formation and transition smoothly out of the public school system and into a post-secondary education program, or into employment.
