The movement of people with intellectual disabilities into the community is increasingly endorsed by public policy. Whilst staff are critical to a successful transition to the community, there is only scattered research on their role in supporting people to move. In this study, 32 staff and the 16 people with intellectual disabilities they supported to move from congregated settings to group homes or personalized living arrangements in the community were interviewed on two occasions, before (time 1) and after (time 2) the move. In congregated settings, staff steered the move to community living, they helped them to settle in community group homes and supported them to increase control over their lives in personalized community arrangements, where they support became increasingly more personalized and geared towards community participation and development of social relationships. Implications for staff training are drawn.
公共政策越来越支持智障人士融入社区。虽然工作人员对于成功过渡到社区至关重要，但关于他们在支持人们融入方面的作用，仅有零散的研究。在本研究中，32名工作人员以及他们所支持的16名从集体环境搬到社区集体之家或个性化生活安排的智障人士在搬迁前（时间1）和搬迁后（时间2）接受了两次访谈。在集体环境中，工作人员引导向社区生活过渡，帮助他们在社区集体之家中安顿下来，并支持他们在个性化社区安排中增强对自己生活的掌控，在这种安排下，他们的支持变得越来越个性化，且朝着社区参与和社会关系发展的方向推进。文中还得出了对工作人员培训的启示。
