Research Abstract |
(1) Previous Studies on the independence of people with disabilities, the life course perspective is lacking. In particular, people with intellectual disabilities do not have the option of live worthy of the generation. (2) There is a difference in the independent view of a person with intellectual disability oneself, parents, and a supporter. It is especially remarkable about sexuality and marriage. (3) Supporters should have a role on advocating for needs of people with intellectual disabilities, and they should consider them as adult. In order to open up the possibility of a new life course of people with intellectual disabilities, it is important for them to expand a personal relationship and to build a social network.
