Manthan- Exploring the Experiences of Parents and Adult Siblings in Future Planning and Housing for Adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities in India
Summary:
As individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) transition into adulthood, planning for their future such as housing, finances, and daily support becomes essential. Globally, future planning (a complex and overwhelming process) is often expected to be managed primarily by families and frequently in isolation from service providers and government support. For families in the Global South, our understanding of their perceptions, needs, and challenges related to future planning remains limited. To explore this, three focus groups with 15 parents and two focus groups with 8 adult siblings were conducted in the three largest cities of Maharashtra state in India (Nagpur, Pune, and Mumbai). This presentation discusses the experiences of parents and adult siblings regarding future planning and housing for adults with IDD in India. Grounded in family perspectives, this webinar offers participants an opportunity to reconnect future planning work to lived realities, shared values, and cross-cultural learning that can strengthen disability leadership and practice.
