Civic Activity Among Young People With Intellectual Disabilities: Socio-Cultural Barriers to Inclusion

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the relationship between civic participation among people with an intellectual disability (ID) and Vic Finkelstein’s barriers to social inclusion (which formed the basis for the questionnaire). A survey among adult students was also conducted with Richard Klamut’s “Questionnaire on Civic Activity”. The respondents tended to experience the barriers as small and their living conditions as good; they generally felt valuable. Only the subjective feeling of helplessness resulting from their own disability turned out to be significant. The stronger the experience of barriers, the less the respondents were politically active. A category with relatively high scores is engagement for the benefit of others, which is clearly attributable to special schools.
