Workers living with intellectual disability suffer in a special way from the onset of premature aging. Hence the need to generate alternatives and policies for the development of a new model for active aging and the care of workers with intellectual disability. Our objective in this study is, therefore, to devise intervention measures that can minimize the effects of aging on the lives and the activities of these workers. Employing the Delphi technique, we assembled and consulted a panel of 8 experts with relevant expertise in the fields of intellectual disability; aging; employment and dependency. The panel included employers, families and workers with disability. Each expert reached a prior consensus over every response and contribution after having consulted four other experts with similar backgrounds, a consultative process in which a total of 40 experts participated. A total of 68 measures were proposed which correspond to three lines of action or key contexts: Firms and Organizations that employ People with Intellectual Disability; People with Intellectual Disability, and Family setting. In all, 10 recommendations with a focus on both firms and organizations were advanced to implement the proposed measures. The conclusion was that interventions are needed from the time at which the first symptoms of deterioration are detected, which should not necessarily lead to immediate loss of employment, as well as individualized and coordinated interventions among all relevant stakeholders, including the families.

“…intellectual and developmental disability, retirement, employment, mobility, aging Retirement, defined as withdrawal from paid work, is typically related to aging (Stancliffe, Brotherton, O'Loughlin, & Wilson, 2017;Wang & Shultz, 2010), but the age when people retire can vary. The average age for retirement in the United States is around 62 years (U.S. Census Bureau, 2014).…”

“…Nowadays, many people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) are living beyond the common retirement age of 65 years (Coppus, 2013). Some people enter retirement by choice, after careful planning and supplementing income, whereas others are forced into retirement by poor health, job instability, or other circumstances (Stancliffe et al, 2017). Workers with IDD do retire (Stancliffe, Kramme, & Nye-Lengerman, 2018), but little is known about individuals’ ages at, or reasons for, retirement.…”

Little is known about how, when, or why individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) retire. Recognizing the changing needs of older adults with IDD is critical to support person-driven services and development of best practices in aging transitions. Using secondary analysis of the 2016 to 2017 National Core Indicators–Adult Consumer Survey (NCI-ACS) data for adults with IDD, we examined the relation between independent mobility (i.e., without aids), age group, level of intellectual disability, and type of employment/activity program, with a focus on mobility and community-based employment in older age groups. There was an overall age-related decline in mobility, but the prevalence of mobility impairment by age group was related to employment type. The percentage who were independently mobile was highest for community employment in every age group. The percentage of individuals by age group in community employment fell significantly from middle age onward, suggesting some former community-based workers had retired. There was no significant age-related difference in the percentage in facility-based employment across these age groups. Mobility limitations may be a barrier to obtaining or retaining community-based employment. Age-related mobility impairment may be associated with premature retirement, and could affect travel to and from work, undertaking work tasks, or both. Closer examination is needed of aging, community employment, and age-related mobility limitations to understand the specific causes of these effects on employment and identify supports and accommodations.

Background As part of a larger study exploring the transition to retirement for people with intellectual disability from a working life in mainstream employment, this paper reports on retirement from the perspective of those who have already retired. Method Semi‐structured interviews were undertaken with five Australian retirees with intellectual disability. Data were analysed using grounded theory methodology. Employment service records provided background information on participants' employment and supports. Results Retirement occurred as the solution to ongoing problems primarily related to health. Retirement decisions were made in conjunction with family and support staff, with participants reporting varying levels of self‐determination in the process, and mixed feelings about their retirement. None of the participants were participating in mainstream community groups in retirement. Conclusions There is a need for retirement preparation for this emerging population to support self‐determination in retirement‐related decisions including individualized training to facilitate independent participation in mainstream social activities in retirement.
