Remarkable Similarities in Four List Theories of a Good Life for People with Intellectual Disability
Elks, Martin A.
Journal of Intellectual Disabilities, v24 n3 p418-426 Sep 2020
A good life is the ultimate goal of a number of theories and approaches to providing supports and services for people with intellectual disability. This article examines four list theories of a good life for people with intellectual disability. Twelve themes of a good life were identified using a basic or conventional content analysis: higher meaning and purpose, respect, rights, social inclusion and belonging, close relationships, contribution, voice and choice, emotional well-being, growth and development, home, materiality, and health. Remarkable similarities in items between these four list theories suggest a broad underlying consensus as to the basic elements a good life for people with intellectual disability.
