Abstract

This dissertation by Lisa Palmqvist explores how to support everyday planning in adolescents with intellectual disabilities (ID). The research investigates whether life experience contributes to the diversity in planning performance seen in previous literature. It examines both external supports, such as assistive technology for cognition (ATC), and internal supports like cognitive abilities and life experiences. The study finds that while ATC can bolster cognitive functions, it often does not lead to independent planning by the adolescents. The research supports the difference model of ID, indicating that planning ability correlates with different cognitive measures and life experiences compared to typically developing children. Despite improvements in planning tasks through a cognitive training program, no transfer effects to untrained tasks were observed. The thesis concludes that external and internal supports can aid planning but stresses the need for ATC to be designed to enhance independence.

Abstract

Le vote de la loi du 11 février 2005 pour l'égalité des droits et des chances, la participation et la citoyenneté des personnes handicapées, a rendu justice aux attentes de milliers de familles d'enfants handicapés. Enfin sont reconnus l'accès au droit commun de scolarisation et le droit à compensation du handicap. Depuis de nombreux textes réglementaires ont suivi et introduit des termes nouveaux dont il est urgent de décrypter le sens et l'usage qui en sera fait. Qu'est-ce que l'établissement scolaire de référence, l'équipe pluridisciplinaire, l'équipe de suivi de la scolarisation, l'enseignant référent, la maison départementale des personnes handicapées, la commission des droits et de l'autonomie de la personne handicapée, le projet personnalisé de scolarisation, le projet de vie ? Cet ouvrage se propose de répondre à ces questions que posent les parents aux autorités chargées de mettre en application les nouveaux droits de la personne handicapée. Informé et averti, le lecteur pourra ainsi se repérer dans ce labyrinthe dénommé ASH (adaptation et scolarisation des élèves handicapés). Il trouvera aussi des conseils pour mieux défendre la cause de son enfant devant les instances décisionnelles. A cet égard, se rapprocher des associations de parents des personnes handicapées peut s'avérer du plus grand intérêt. C'est grâce à elles et à leurs revendications auprès des pouvoirs publics que les droits des enfants et des adolescents porteurs d'un handicap et de leurs familles continueront à être partout reconnus.
