Friendships, Relationships, and Supports for People with Intellectual Disability A Literature Review. Orla Kelly National Federation of Voluntary Bodies, 2010

Agenda Themes Social Exclusion – Social Inclusion Institutionalisation Vs Community Living Construct of Disability? Methodology What matters?

Themes People with intellectual disabilities are not easily developing relationship networks (Whitehouse et al, 2001; McVilly et al, 2006) People with intellectual disabilities understand the importance of satisfying relationships to the quality of life and their social status but many do not participate (Chapell, 1994) People with intellectual disabilities have very few meaningful relationships with people who do not have intellectual disabilities, are not relatives, and who are not paid to support them (Robertson et al, 2001)

Themes Meaning of Friend: Maintaining a Friend A pivotal relationship A pervasive part of a person’s life A sense of shared history An opportunity to share common interests A reliable but reciprocal source of support Maintaining a Friend Making arrangements Balancing other relationships Remembering and reminiscing Opportunities for autonomy Living arrangements (Knox et al, 2001)

Themes Maintaining a Boyfriend/Girlfriend Meaning of a Boyfriend/Girlfriend: Characteristics of a boyfriend/girlfriend Feelings of Intimacy Physical Attractiveness An expectation of relationship change Maintaining a Boyfriend/Girlfriend Dating Spending time alone Planning for the future (Knox et al, 2001)

Social Exclusion –Social Inclusion Require more than just placing people in proximity to others. Means a sense of belonging that is fostered through the development of Valued Relationships Pockney, 2006. Not being Listened to Having No Friends Finding it Difficult to do the things that People without Intellectual Disabilities do Being made that they have no Contribution to make, they are a Burden Feeling Unsafe, being Harassed, and Bullied Not having Control over Spending Money, not having Enough Money Morris, 2001.

Institutionalisation Vs Community Living Segregation ‘Distinct Social Space’ Friendships with People With Intellectual Disability, Carers, Family . Asexual. Segregation ‘Distinct Social Space’ Friendships with People With Intellectual Disability, Carers, Family . Community Presence May have Sexual Identity

Construct of Disability? People With Intellectual Disability Community Integration Staff & Families Service Delivery & Priorities

Construct of Disability? People With Intellectual Disability A Lack of Social Skills Behaviour & Communication Difficulties (Forrester /Jones et al, 2006) Development of Social Skills & Behaviour Sex Education based on Biology, (Chivers et al, 2000)

Construct of Disability? Friendships for people with intellectual disabilities appear to count for little in the estimation of those who control their lives (Emerson & McVilly, 2004) Staff felt that they needed to retain a degree of power if they were to adequately protect and provide (Pahl et al, 2000) Staff & Families Staff fear of favouring one person over another – professional distance (Pockney, 2006)

Construct of Disability? Tasks need to be done (Clement et al, 2009) Parents hold more conservative views relating to sexuality than staff (Cuskelly & Bryde, 2004) Staff & Families Staff do not feel confident working with gay/lesbian/bisexual (Abbott & Howarth, 2006) Need for training, education and more information

Construct of Disability? Examples of how Staff & Family support Friendships: Finding their Friends Phone Numbers Having Support to Exchange Cards at Birthdays To initiate contact and extend invitations Help identify Train and Bus routes (McPilly et al, 2006) Staff & Families 12

Construct of Disability? Economic, lack of transport, cuts in services, lack of access to one’s money, organisation of staffing, poor access to resources, lack of autonomy, lack of privacy, personal info brought into public domain, residents publicly disciplined (Abbott & McConkey, 2006; Chappell, 1994) Barriers to making and maintaining friendships and relationships: Service Delivery & Priorities

Construct of Disability? Positive outcomes derive from the absence of the overt subordination of residents to staff (Randell & Cumella, 2009) Need to listen to what people with intellectual disabilities want (Miller, 2008) Need to intervene at a systems level (Emerson et al, 2004) Service Delivery & Priorities

Construct of Disability? In times of spending restraint: 3 service goals to help focus costs on things that matter Need to maintain or improve - good conditions of life each person’s happiness the ways people have of becoming enabled to lead fulfilling lives of their own choosing (Brown, 1999) Service Delivery & Priorities

Construct of Disability? Mere community presence does not result in integration into the community (McVilly et al, 2006) There needs to be an opportunity for social interaction – community activities around socialisation (Kampert & Goreczny, 2005) Community Integration There needs to be an examination of the importance placed on organisational tasks over a ‘focused effort’ for community participation (Clement & Bigby, 2008)

Construct of Disability? People With Intellectual Disability Control Community Integration Staff & Families Service Delivery & Priorities 17

Construct of Disability? The power that service workers have to support, enable or actively destroy an individuals relationships cannot be ignored (Knox & Hickson, 2001) Control needs to be relinquished and people with Intellectual Disabilities need to be supported to take up this control Control We need to listen to what people want for themselves (Miller, 2008) We need to “allow” people with Intellectual Disabilities to put their own meaning on friendship and how they wish to maintain them (Knox & Hickson, 2001) We need to understand the importance of our friendship as staff members to people with Intellectual Disabilities and not devalue it
