“…This is somewhat surprising because the purpose of DAs and group homes is to offer meaningful activities and social community, and facilitate participation in public life. However, the results are in line with international research (Bigby and Fyffe, ; Buttimer and Tierney, ; Forrester‐Jones, Carpenter and Coolen‐Schrijner et al., ; Hall and Hewson, ; Smith, Morgan and Davidson, ). Furthermore, research has shown that intellectually disabled persons were dependent on the staff's decisions regarding daily activities and that the staff mostly reproduced social structures (Widerlund, ).…”

The present study is an investigation of a daily activity centre (DA). The overall aim was to build a grounded theory that could explain why this particular DA deviated from the norms of Swedish group homes and DAs described in previous studies. These studies have suggested that the staff stuck to old routines, such as letting the participants fold laundry, set the table and clean the table. These routines did little to nothing to promote the skills necessary for participation in the society, such as reading and writing. Furthermore, I used visual ethnographic methods and interviews to capture the activities at the DA. My analysis showed how the staff and the participants at the DA were engaged in reading and writing activities, such as publishing articles, comics, broadcasting radio and web‐TV. The main conclusion is that four factors facilitated participation: new technologies, IT competence, a culture of self‐responsibility and autonomy/control.

“…The goal is that all people with ID should have the same possibilities to make choices as people without ID. Because people with ID are a highly heterogeneous group, Burton Smith, Morgan and Davidson (2005) state that individuals with mild to moderate ID have almost the same possibilities to make choices as people without ID, whereas individuals with moderate to severe ID have more limited possibilities to make choices.…”

The food provision for people with intellectual disability (ID) in Sweden is organized within their own households. The aim of this study was to describe how foodwork Á planning for meals, shopping for food and cooking Á is performed in different social contexts in community settings involving people with ID, staff or both. Dietary intake in the main meals in relation to foodwork practice was also studied. Four different foodwork practices could be distinguished. For some participants only one kind of foodwork practice was found, but for most of them two or more different practices. There was a tendency that food items and dishes chosen and used differed depending on what foodwork practice was performed, which, in turn, affected the nutrient intake. More attention needs to be directed to these everyday matters as a means to increase the quality of support in food for people with ID.

“…But what happens to the individuals already attending adult day habilitation programs? Research has indicated that individuals with severe intellectual disability achieve fewer community integration outcomes than those individuals with milder or no disability (Smith, Morgan, & Davidson, 2005). Such individuals with severe disability often attend day habilitation programs, are residents in group homes and other communal residential arrangements, and have limited choice and limited self-determination.…”
