A new paradigm, which we refer to as The Quality of Life Supports Paradigm, is emerging internationally in the field of intellectual and developmental disabilities. The new paradigm integrates the key concepts of "quality of life" and "supports". This article addresses the question of how one evaluates a new paradigm.
This is a conceptual work that describes five characteristics of a paradigm. The characteristics are based on the groundbreaking work of relevant authors in the field of intellectual and developmental disabilities, quality of life, supports, and evaluation.
The five characteristics are that a paradigm is theory driven, ethical, flexible, adaptable, and measurable. The article especially delves into the fifth characteristic and provides specific examples of how to evaluate the new paradigm.
The new paradigm encompasses core values, accommodates contextual factors, and can be used for multiple purposes to positively impact the development and implementation of value-based policies and practices that enhance the quality of life and personal well-being of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
一种新的范式正在国际智力和发展障碍领域出现，我们称之为“生活质量支持范式”。这个新的范式整合了“生活质量”和“支持”这两个关键概念。本文探讨了如何评估一个新范式的问题。
这是一篇概念性的文章，描述了范式的五个特征。这些特征是基于智力和发展障碍、生活质量、支持和评估领域相关作者的开创性工作。
这五个特征是：范式是理论驱动的、伦理的、灵活的、适应性强的和可衡量的。本文特别深入探讨了第五个特征，并提供了如何评估新范式的具体示例。
新的范式包含核心价值观，适应情境因素，并可用于多种目的，以积极影响基于价值的政策和实践的发展和实施，从而提高智力和发展障碍者的生活质量和个人幸福感。
