Résumé

Au cours du vieillissement, les adultes ayant une déficience intellectuelle (DI) vivent de nombreux changements susceptibles d’influencer leurs possibilités d’exercer leurs activités quotidiennes et leurs rôles sociaux. Une bonne connaissance de leurs points de vue sur le sujet apparaît cruciale pour mieux adapter l’offre de services à leurs besoins. Cette recherche a pour but de mieux comprendre les points de vue des personnes ayant une DI à l’égard de leurs possibilités de participation sociale à travers l’avancée en âge. Des entrevues individuelles et un atelier participatif ont été réalisés avec des adultes âgés de 40 à 75 ans dans la ville de Québec. L’analyse de leurs propos a permis d’identifier leurs points de vue relatifs à trois thèmes, soit leurs capacités, les possibilités d’exercer leur participation sociale et les soutiens reçus. Pour conclure, des recommandations sont proposées afin que les pratiques soutiennent réellement leur participation sociale à travers l’avancée en âge.

Abstract

Abstract

Throughout aging, adults with an intellectual disability (ID) experience many changes likely to influence their ability to carry out their daily activities and their social roles. A good understanding of their points of view on that matter appears crucial to better adapt services to their needs. This research aimed to better understand how people with ID perceive their possibilities of social participation as they age. Individual interviews and a participatory workshop were conducted with adults aged 40 to 75 in Quebec City. The analysis of their discourse allowed the identification of their points of view relating to three themes – namely, their capacities, the possibilities of exercising their social participation, and the support received. To conclude, recommendations are proposed to ensure that practices support their social participation through the advancing age.
