“…Despite the existence of laws requiring opportunities for participation by people with ID, taking part in an actual activity is required for participation to take place (Blomberg, 2006). Participation is defined in the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) as ‘engagement in a life situation’ and is operationalized according to the activities performed in a social context.…”

“…As already mentioned, despite the attacks on Sweden, the country still enjoys a high reputation and high standing among nations. It is mainly associated with IKEA and ABBA and Volvo, though there are also national specificities to how other countries see Sweden, such as that the most famous Swedish person in China has for a long time been a table tennis player Jan-Ove Waldner (see Lundberg, 2005). The ideas of the 'Swedish model' and its merits and disadvantages differ between intellectual elites and academic social scientists as against the ideas and images of ordinary people.…”

Sweden's image in the world: Still a ‘model’?

Sweden has long been regarded as a ‘model’ for societal development. Recently, with the rise of an anti‐immigrant party and negative news coverage of crime, the image of a progressive Sweden has frayed. Positive models for societal development have existed in the past and included the United States during the heyday of modernization theory. This paper argues that positive models are useful, partly to crystallize options among the much‐debated varieties of capitalism, and partly as ideals which can be held up by social thinkers and publics as aspirations for the good society. This paper reviews the evolution of the Swedish model from a ‘middle way’ between Soviet communism and American capitalism to a welfare state under strain. It also examines how the Swedish model has been reinforced by its high international standing. The perceptions of Sweden abroad and domestically have changed in recent years. While these perceptions have correctly identified challenges not just for Sweden but also for other countries with similar problems, Sweden's government and civil society may be able to address them. The paper explores the lessons that can be learned from the current shortcomings and potential renewal of the strengths of the Swedish model, including its wider influence.

“…In Sweden, most adults with PI(M)D live in group homes where staff members carry out the needed support and service (The National Board of Health and Welfare, 2018). Given their dependence on others, adults with PI(M)D live in environments created and controlled by others (Blomberg, 2006; Felce and Perry, 1995; Ringsby Jansson, 2002; Tideman, 2000). Therefore, it is important to describe participation in daily life for adults with PI(M)D living in a group home.…”

Participation is the goal of Swedish disability policy, but it is difficult to achieve for adults with profound intellectual (and multiple) disabilities (PI(M)D). Since these adults are dependent on others in every aspect of their lives, others control their ability to participate in everyday life decisions. This study used observations, analyzed with Shier’s ladder of participation, to elucidate and describe participation in daily life for adults with PI(M)D living in a group home. The results showed that the adults often reached the first three levels of Shier’s ladder, one adult reached the fourth level once, and no one reached the fifth level. Participation on a higher level, therefore, seems hard to reach for adults. Staff members’ attitudes toward the adults’ capability can also be a barrier to participation. Applying Shier’s ladder of participation can provide valuable information that might lead to increased participation in daily life for adults with PI(M)D.
