Adaptive interviewing for the inclusion of people with intellectual disability in qualitative research.

Background: Historically the voices of people with intellectual disability have been occluded by barriers imposed by research practice. More recently, adaptive research approaches have been proposed to enhance the inclusion of people with intellectual disability in qualitative research.

Method: This article presents an adaptive interviewing approach employed with five people ageing with intellectual disabilities in rural South Australia.

The juncture and disjuncture of service delivery systems in post-parental care planning for rural people with intellectual disabilities.

Background: Australian research indicates that post-parental care transitions are rarely planned and primarily occur following a crisis for a primary carer. This paper examines disability staff perceptions of transitions for people with intellectual disability and their ageing carers in rural South Australia.

Method: A focus group interview model was used, with a semi-structured interview guide initiating group discussions.
