Abstract: |
In order to achieve independence, people with intellectual disabilities often require training. Carers are important partners in the process. Previous studies have shown that carers are able to motivate family members with intellectual disabilities to participate in training. Also, these family members may often serve as co-trainers. To increase carers' participation, it is necessary to empower them with training techniques and develop strategies in order to help. This study investigated the effects of carer support to enhance training quality of daily living skills for their family member with intellectual disabilities, through the use of care case studies, in the context of families living in Hong Kong. Three cases are analysed to illustrate various modes of carer participation. The case studies suggested that carers were able to increase training effectiveness as they were in a position to motivate people with intellectual disabilities to participate in training, particularly in the home environment. |
