Background A first generation of adolescents with Down syndrome have grown up in Norway's inclusive society. This study explored their friendships and social leisure participation, mainly as it is reflected through their subjective experience. Method The analysis is based on qualitative interviews and observations of 22 teens aged 17 years. Results Generally, the adolescents described their social life as rich and varied, occurring in several contexts with different companions. Their thoughts of friendships were quite extensive, also including less close relationships. Three main contextual patterns of social participation were revealed: (a) the family at home pattern, (b) the peer group pattern and (c) the arranged company pattern. The relationship between the national policy on social inclusion and these findings is discussed. Conclusion To understand the barriers and opportunities in the social life of Norwegian adolescents with Down syndrome, it is essential to acknowledge the extent of their experiences with friendship and the characteristics of their social participation patterns.

“…These changes are occurring alongside significant re-orientation of service provision for people with a disability toward client-led choice making and self-advocacy. The United Nations Convention of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (United Nations Division for Social Policy and Development, 2008 ) places those with disabilities and their families and carers at the center of decision-making related to life goals and service provision (Ottman and Crosbie, 2013 ).…”

“…However, obtaining input of clients with ID about their own experience can be difficult, even with best intentions. Barriers to indicate choice and reflect on progress include challenges with communication, recall, generalization, and abstract thinking (Ottman and Crosbie, 2013 ). Many people with disability also experience low societal expectations around their ability to self-advocate, hindering confidence, and capacity to share opinions (Thill, 2015 ).…”

“…Methodological approaches that have been effective in capturing the experiences and views of people with ID include mixed-method discussions and interviews, especially if they are structured with focusing questions and interviewer prompts. Additional assistance can be provided by visual or augmentative communication supports, observation, and input from sensitive carers (Ottman and Crosbie, 2013 ).…”

Healthcare and human services are increasingly required to demonstrate effectiveness and efficiency of their programs, with assessment and evaluation processes more regularly part of activity cycles. New approaches to service delivery, such as the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) scheme in Australia, require outcome-focused reporting that is responsive to the perspectives of clients. Eco-systematic approaches to service delivery and assessment consider the client as part of an interconnected web of stakeholders who all have responsibility for and contribute to their development and progress. These imperatives provide challenges for modalities for which there are not well-established assessment approaches. Dance movement therapists face particular difficulties in this respect, as they have few assessment tools that are practical for regular use. Existing dance movement therapy (DMT) assessment approaches largely do not yet prioritize input from clients. This article addresses these challenges in reporting a trial of iPad app MARA (Movement Assessment and Reporting App) developed for assessment in DMT. MARA is applied in a program for adults with intellectual disability (ID) over 16 weeks. Assessment data is gathered utilizing the app's features: two researcher-therapists undertake quantitative scoring that MARA aggregates into graphs, substantiated by qualitative note-taking, photos, and videos; and clients provide feedback about their progress stimulated by viewing photos and videos. A sample graph generated by MARA and supporting notes and a report drawn from data are provided. Responses to reports from program stakeholders (12 participants, 12 families, 11 center staff) gathered through interviews and focus groups are discussed, and researcher–therapists' reflections are detailed. The benefits of using MARA reported by researcher–therapists include strengthened capacity to focus on participant outcomes, assess efficiently, plan and make decisions for the program, and communicate participants' progress to stakeholders. Family members perceive reports drawn from data gathered in MARA to be useful in enabling better understanding of the DMT program and participant outcomes and potentially to support NDIS service planning. Managers perceive the potential value of data in these reports for quality control and resource decisions, while other staff confirm the therapists' perspective that reports offer the possibility of improved communication and collaboration between center staff.

“…18,19 The issue of job satisfaction among dentists has been reported from at least a dozen different countries. 17,[20][21][22][23] It is suggested that dentists in Australia and elsewhere in the world experience high to very high levels of overall job satisfaction. 23 However, very little is known about such migrant dentist experiences in a new country.…”
