ABSTRACTBackground Research on post-secondary training for individuals with intellectual disabilities has generally focused on programs, with little consideration of the structures and mechanisms that give rise to them. This article adopts a critical realist perspective to comparatively analyse and theorise about the contextual structures contributing to the introduction of post-secondary training programs in universities for individuals with intellectual disabilities.Method Six stages in critical realist explanatory research were followed. They include (1) description, (2) analytical resolution, (3) abduction/theoretical redescription, (4) retroduction, (5) comparison between different theories and abstractions, and (6) concretisation and contextualisation.Results Historical, socio-political, and educational policy structures and mechanisms, indicated three program typologies: program as niche, as a generalisable prototype, and as an evolutionary response to evolving conditions.Conclusions By developing explanations about preconditions, the study draws out nuanced sub-types occurring within a single university-based program, theorises on trajectories for success, and lays the groundwork for future empirical and conceptual development.KEYWORDS: Intellectual disabilityinclusive post-secondary educationhigher educationcritical realism Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Ethics approvalThe study was conducted according to the guidelines of the National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research (National Statement), and approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) at Torrens University Australia (HREC-0131).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by 2019 Laureate Grant for Inter-Institutional Research.

ABSTRACTBackground Productivity-based wage systems are intended to enhance the labour market participation of people with disabilities. Limited scholarship exists regarding the impact of such policies in practice. This qualitative study explored stakeholder perspectives on the Australian Supported Wage System (SWS), including perceptions of fairness and equity.Methods Document review provided context and background for the study. 14 semi-structured interviews were subsequently conducted with a range of stakeholders with knowledge of the SWS.Results Four primary themes were identified, related to assessment processes, value contributions of the system, practice risks and challenges, and ethical tensions.Conclusions The SWS appears to enhance worker choice and inclusion. A variety of factors may reduce the quality of these outcomes, however, and employment systems should support a range of evidence-informed approaches to ensure equitable employment outcomes.KEYWORDS: supported wageslabour market participationsocial inclusionoccupational justiceintellectual disability Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Intellectual disability is defined by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) in Australia as a condition affecting intellectual skills and adaptive behaviours including the ability to learn, communicate, reason and retain information.Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by Association of Commonwealth Universities: [Grant Number 2018-199-141-008340].

ABSTRACT Background There is often very little training during medical school focused on how to provide care to individuals with intellectual disabilities. This curriculum gap results in students reporting low levels of confidence in their ability to care for this population. Methods Medical students attended an interactive, narrative-based session on caring for individuals with intellectual disabilities. Student confidence was assessed through pre- and post-session surveys. Results Students reported low levels of confidence in their overall ability to provide care to people with intellectual disabilities, but this level significantly increased following the course session. Student confidence also increased significantly across all learning objectives. Conclusions The success of this session provides additional support for the importance of including individuals with intellectual disabilities within the medical school curriculum; however, we must continue to advocate for more longitudinal educational opportunities in this field to ensure current and future physicians can provide care to this population.
