“…The ISP document is the written or digital document that describes these goals and objectives (Thompson et al 2009;Herps et al 2013) and thus should reflect the current support that is provided to enhance personal outcomes (Thompson et al 2009). The content of the ISP document should be based on an ongoing dialogue between staff and the person regarding the individual's wishes and preferences, but research has shown that people with ID are not always meaningfully involved in this process (Williams & Robinson 2000;Herps et al 2013;Herps et al 2016a).…”

Background Sexual rights and sexuality are important aspects of quality of life, also for people with intellectual disabilities (IDs). However, providing support in this area to people with ID poses some challenges. In this study, the content of individual support plan (ISP) documents was analysed to determine the extent to which sexuality and sexual rights are addressed in part of the ISP documents. Method Content analysis was carried out on a sample of 187 ISP documents from seven different service provider organisations in the Netherlands. First, we conducted a lexical search using terms related to sexuality and sexual health. The retrieved segments were then analysed. Results A total of 159 ISP documents (85%) of 60 men and 99 women contained some reference to aspects of sexuality. However, these references were mostly descriptive and offered little guidance in terms of providing support. Moreover, these notations mostly described negative or problematic aspects of sexuality.

“…Person Centred Planning around the World Herps, Buntinx, & Curfs (2016) note that England, The Netherlands, Belgium, and Canada as well as several American States have Person Centred Planning as their policy for social services. Hinz (2011) found Person Centred planning to be the situation (at least to some extent) in Austria, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, The Czech Republic, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Luxemburg, Macedonia, Netherlands, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom (this study looked at Europe only).…”

How Practitioners’ Understanding of Dialogical Theory Can Enhance Co- Construction of Meaning and Support the Choice and Control of People Who Have Complex Communication Support Needs

People who have complex communication support do not have active choice and control in the process of defining how their lives are organised and the support that they receive, despite there being laws and recommendations in place from many bodies such as the United Nations or national governments. The tendency is that the expression of the needs and expectations originate in the opinion of the people closest to the person who has complex communication support needs, rather than from the person themselves. This problem is related to the fact that the dominant model of communication used in this context is based on information transfer and decoding, causing practitioners to regard the need to interpret and negotiate meaning as problematic and somehow differing from other communicative episodes.This challenge can be met by using a dialogical approach where communication is seen as a process of negotiation where meaning is co-constructed through a sequence of interactions. In situations where practitioners are supported to apply dialogical theory in communication partnerships with people who have complex communication support needs, practitioners' confidence in co-constructing meaning can grow and communication can be richer, supporting direct consultation.This article seeks to explore and bring together relevant literature on these topics, highlighting the role of the dialogical approach within the context of the international human rights framework.
