Abstract

People with intellectual disabilities have difficulty accessing competitive employment, which hinders their social and labor inclusion and participation, economic independence, an independent life, self-confidence and develop their skills. Studies have explored factors that hinder access to employment for this group is practically nonexistent. In this paper we analyze whether there are differences in some personal and social, and adaptive behavior in a sample of 98 adults with intellectual disability, aged between 24 and 60 years old (M = 28.74, SD = 11.11), of which 66.3% have job and 33.7% do not. The results show that men aged between 31 and 50 years without a diagnosis of mental health problems are more likely people are to have a sheltered employment against women, fewer than 30, over 50, and those with one or more diagnoses of mental illness. It is also noted that people with mild intellectual disabilities who are employed get better scores in most domains of adaptive behavior, but only significantly in vocational and prevocational-economic activities that people without jobs.
