As adults with intellectual disability age, retirement options need to be explored. One option is to attend a mainstream community group for retirees. Support within these groups could come from group members who are trained to act as mentors for the older adults with intellectual disability. This research evaluated a support training programme, Active Mentoring, which combines elements of Active Support and Co-worker Training.
Three older women with intellectual disability participated in a non-concurrent multiple baseline design. Effect size analyses (Percentage of Non-overlapping Data) were used to evaluate observational data.
Active Mentoring was effective in increasing most types of engagement in activities, but there was no observed effect for social engagement. Mentor help also increased.
Active Mentoring was effective in eliciting support from mentors, and in increasing activity engagement of older adults with intellectual disability in mainstream community groups.
随着成年智障人士年龄的增长，需要探索他们的退休选择。其中一种选择是参加专为退休人士设立的主流社区团体。这些团体中的成员接受过培训，可以担任智障成年人的导师，为他们提供支持。本研究评估了一种支持培训计划——主动指导（Active Mentoring），它结合了积极支持（Active Support）和同事培训（Co-worker Training）的元素。
三名智障成年女性参与了非同期多项基线设计。采用非重叠数据百分比（Percentage of Non-overlapping Data）进行效应量分析，以评估观察数据。
主动指导在增加活动参与度的大多数类型方面是有效的，但对社交参与度没有观察到效果。导师的帮助也有所增加。
主动指导有效地从导师那里获得了支持，并增加了智障成年人士在主流社区团体中的活动参与度。
