Why is it important?
Discussion is focused on ways to improve transition, not on the difficulties they experience. Several dimensions are included in the analysis: training, social relationships and leisure activities among them.
Perspectives
Putting together professionals, families and people with ID was a challenge for all the participants and even for the researches, but the 4 meetings (focus groups) were really rich in interactions and insights. A really good experience as a researchers and citizens!
