Research line 3
Caregiving versus companionship in the context of intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).
We understand both the positive aspects, the tensions and dilemmas faced by families and other stakeholders who accompany children, adolescents, and adults with IDD in their daily lives, seeking to promote the design of training programs that allow for the full exercise of rights and the effective participation in society of this group of people and their families.
Objectives
a. Comprehend the main needs and positive aspects perceived by caregivers and/or companions of people with IDD, considering personal and sociocultural variables.
b. Characterize, from the voice of those who accompany people with IDD: their attitudes towards the condition, towards people with IDD, and towards state agencies and current public policies.
c. Design, test and disseminate a training program that allows a better accompaniment to people with IDD, incorporating the human rights approach in this task.
