Adults With Intellectual Disabilities

This dissertation will examine the sexual and intimate lives of adults with intellectual disabilitiesby putting into conversation theories from both the sociology of sexualities and the field ofcritical disability studies. The intersection of disabilities and sexualities remains a taboo topic inour society (Esmail et al. 2009; Shakespeare 2014). Research on the intersection of disabilitiesand sexualities remains under-researched and under-theorized in both the sociology of sexualitiesand critical disability studies, resulting in significant gaps in our understanding of the sexual andintimate lived experiences of disabled people (Erel et al. 2011; Kattari 2015; Liddiard 2011,2013; McRuer and Mollow 2012).

Data were analyzed using Colaizzi’s approach of analysis.Results: Six themes were identified from this study: the feeling that playing with the internet is more important than the school; become “too lazy to move” and unable to manage time; physical health disorders due to internet addiction; the feeling that it is difficult to be away from the internet, and social interaction difficulties in the real world, which then leads to hostile attitude due to the lack of ability to control emotions.Conclusion: The lived experience of adolescents with internet addiction is complicated and impacted on all aspects of teenagers’ lives. These findings provide insights for nurses in preventing and overcoming internet addiction problems among teenagers.

Adults With Intellectual Disabilities

The literature recognizes the important role of the Speech and Language Pathologist (SLP) in the treatment of communication and swallowing disorders in children with Intellectual Disabilities (ID). However there is also a need to emphasize the importance of specialist SLP input across the lifespan of people with ID, and to recognize the specific, ongoing and changing communication and swallowing needs of adults with ID as they get older.
