Abstract:
|
Conversations and social interactions of developmentally-disabled adults living in a semi-independent apartment facility were analyzed to identify means of constructing in-group and out-group identities. Four themes were identified as helping build an in-group identity. Out-group identity and how these individuals perceived their disabilities were also explored. Evidence indicated that these individuals did not have a strong perception of "different-ness" from the non-disabled community. Studying interactions of this population can help care providers better understand impediments to successful community placement. |
