The article discusses the subject of housing for people with more severe intellectual disability – as one of the forms of support. The integrated-community flat constitutes an alternative institutional form of support for persons with more severe intellectual disability. The symbolic interactionism theory was extremely helpful in preliminary deliberations and the discussed integrated-community flats were based on the conception of total institutions. Therefore, the following questions were asked: What characteristics of a total institution does the integrated-community flat have? Can the integrated-community flat be described as having characteristics of a total institution? A qualitative case study with participant observation was used for this purpose.
The aim of this paper is to look into communication in adults with moderate intellectual disability in the process of their autonomisation. This matter has been investigated to shed some light on how people with intellectual disabilities communicate in their social realities in the context of their autonomy and independence. The paper presents a preliminary research using the interpretative paradigm. To deliver the intended goal, the author has used the problem-centered interview.
