The aim of this article is to disseminate how this inclusive study was developed and to explain its results…

A total of 41 young people with mild intellectual disabilities participated in the study, in two groups differentiated according to their educ…
Social networks and personal support from the perspective of young people with intellectual disabilities
A strong, stable social network constitutes a potential guarantee that people with intellectual disabilities can have natural supports throughout their lives that will help them in their process of social inclusion. Having a supportive social network is considered the pinnacle of social inclusion. But the social networks of people with intellectual disabilities are usually very limited, and their connections are mainly with family and professiona…
How we work: Reflecting on ten years of inclusive research

However important critiques of this approach query whether inclusive research reinforces perceptions of deficit and contribute to exclusionary practices. This paper presents a reflection on the practices within an inclusive research group over the past decade, with a focus on decision making and support. The authors used thematic analysis to critically review minutes, workshop presentations …
Friendship barriers and supports: Thoughts of young people with intellectual disabilities

This article aims to present the friendship experiences of young people with ID who are in their transition process to adult life. It focuses on their reflections on their own friendships, the presence these frie…
Developing social skills to empower friendships: Design and assessment of a social skills training programme
Society stigmatises people with learning disabilities (LD) and limits their opportunities to experience relationships [Callus and Farrugia 2016. The Disabled Child's Participation Rights. Routledge]. Actions addressed at improving their competence in social skills may contribute to enhancing their social networks. Therefore, a 12-session Training Programme (Friendship & Social Skills Programme, FSSP) aimed at young people and young adults with LD…
How do people with learning disabilities talk about professionals and organizations? Discourse on support practices for independent living
The aims of the research presented here are two-fold: to determine the decision-making role that people with learning disabilities award organizations and professionals offering support for independent living; and to assess the extent to which the dominant discourses of people with learning disabilities incorporate individual or social approaches. Ten focus groups were held with self-advocacy groups of people with learning disabilities. The criti…
Retos para la vida independiente de las personas con discapacidad intelectual. Un estudio basado en sus opiniones, las de sus familias y las de los profesionales
