“…For example, having attended college to obtain a valuable diploma (output) is a gateway for employment and life‐long social networks (outcomes). Or it may be a gateway to outcomes such as those identified by May () when she concluded from her study that “findings suggest that inclusive college programs that enroll both students with and without an intellectual disability in regular college courses may foster positive attitudes about acceptance and diversity among students without such a disability” (p. 244). But, ultimately, the presence and quality of inputs, throughputs, and outputs at the system, organization, and individual/family levels are all most concerned with positive outcomes for individuals with disabilities and their families.…”

The need for quality of life, both as a concept and as a measure, to be applied to policy and practice has been noted in the disability literature for several years. In 2012, Schalock and Verdugo introduced a conceptual model to help service organizations evaluate if congruence exists among their systems, policies, and practices and, if misalignments exist, to make changes through policy and systems change. Their model focuses on two levels, system-level processes and organization-level practices, at three consecutive stages of use: inputs, throughputs, and outputs. In this article, the authors extend the work of Schalock and Verdugo by adding a third level of application, individual-and family-level living, and propose the inclusion of outcomes as a fourth stage of use representing a consequence of outputs. We recognize the dynamic interaction among all components of the conceptual framework and, like Schalock and Verdugo, argue for alignment both vertically (system, organization, and individual and family living levels) and horizontally (inputs, throughputs, outputs, and outcomes) within our revised conceptual framework. Based on this, the authors propose that quality of life outcomes (the ongoing effects of outputs) should be an ultimate focus of service organizations and policy development if quality of life is to be enhanced for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families.

“…Another, alternate explanation is that autism knowledge does not necessarily mediate positive attitudes (McManus et al, 2011;White et al, 2016). Instead, acceptance is predicted by the quality of an individual's contact (Allport, 1954;May, 2012;Bolis et al, 2020). Bolis et al (2020) recently showed that interpersonal similarity-specifically, the between-persons quality of autistic traits-is directly related to the quality of friendships held by autistic people.…”

Negative stereotypes and ostracism of those on the autism spectrum persist, with consequences for autistic people including fewer friendships and smaller social networks. Recent work in the area has found that diagnosis disclosure can have a positive effect on autistic peer perceptions and that non-autistic people often decide whether or not to maintain relations with autistic individuals based on initial thin slice judgements. Participants (N = 423) in this study were randomly assigned to one of two conditions (disclosure of autism diagnosis or no disclosure) and read a fictional vignette depicting a social interaction with someone displaying behaviors characteristic of autism. They then answered questions regarding their affective, behavioral, and cognitive responses to the character. Results indicate that non-autistic people show positive cognitions, but less positive behavior, towards those on the spectrum, and that participants with autistic friends (regardless of diagnosis disclosure) showed more negativity to the vignette character than those participants without such friends. Implications are discussed in light of situational factors that may be present within these relationships.

“…Ставови особа које су у оквиру свог радног ангажовања упућене на особе са интелектуалном ометеношћу углавном су позитивнији од ставова особа које се не баве професионално овом друштвеном групом (Rose, Kent, & Rose, 2012). Такође, показа-тељ позитивнијих ставова је и постојање искуства контакта са овом популацијом, у виду рођачких, пријатељских или односа и познанстава друге врсте (Griffin, Summer, McMillan, Day, & Hodapp, 2012;May, 2012). Сазнања о повезаности одређених демографских варијабли и искуствених фактора са ставовима могу дати смернице за одређивање циљне популације и практичних приступа усмерених на формирање позитивнијих ставова особа типичне популације према особама са интелектуалном ометеношћу.…”

The aim of this study was to determine the direction and intensity of high school graduates’ attitudes towards social integration of persons with intellectual disability and examine correlation between certain characteristics of the subjects and their attitudes. The sample consisted of 95 high school graduates from ˮDušan Vasiljevˮ secondary school in Kikinda. The direction and intensity of attitudes was examined by the Community Living Attitudes Scale – Mental Retardation Form (CLAS-MR; Henry, Keys, Jopp, & Balcazar, 1996), while the data related to race, gender, previous experience of contact with people with disabilities and interests of career dealing with this population were obtained through the questionnaire for testing socio-demographic variables constructed for this survey.The results showed that the attitudes of graduates towards social integration of people with intellectual disability are positive on the scale in general, and three of the four domains of the applied instrument. Our respondents expressed a positive attitude towards the empowerment of these people, their involvement in the community's activities and experiencing these people to themselves. The respondents expressed a negative attitude through the perceived need of people with intellectual disabilities to be placed in protected living and working conditions, beyond the wider community. Connection between the attitudes to gender, previous experience of contact, close contact with people with disabilities and interest for professional work with persons with disabilities was not established.Bearing in mind the presumption about the influence of attitudes towards the behavior of a particular social group, the knowledge of attitudes and their determinants in young people towards this population, on the threshold of their entry into adulthood, can provide useful guidance for planning and implementing practical procedures with the aim of a higher quality integration of people with intellectual disabilities into the community in the future.
