Support Programs on Consumption Activities and Money Management for People with Intellectual Disa bilities

许多智障人士在日常生活中出现了消费问题或金钱问题。一些人被无良商人欺骗，另一些人没有管理好自己的钱。因此，分析他们的现金簿是为了检查他们使用金钱的方式。在征得残疾人团体之家的同意后，收集残疾人团体之家的现金簿，并统计其类别和金额。还附有对他们及其支助人员的采访。其中一个发现是，大多数住在集体之家的人并不知道他们的全部收入和支出，他们在一个比他们应该知道的更小的世界里管理他们的生活。此外，他们团体之家的许多工作人员表示，保留现金账簿并不总是对他们未来独立生活的资金管理进行培训。在这些研究的基础上，作者和同事通过许多例子讨论了消费困扰的特点，从而引出了员工在遇到金钱困扰时意识的重要性。然后，作者和同事们为后勤人员制定了培训计划。内容包括：(1)消费困扰的法律基础知识，(2)如何从智障人士身上发现消费困扰的重要迹象，(3)如何咨询法律机构，需要提交哪些资料等。最后，讨论了一些案例来运用和证实他们所学到的知识。节目结束后，参与者填写了一份调查问卷。许多人（9/12）回答这个项目增加了他们的知识，而他们应对金钱问题的自我效能感没有明显提高。其中需要进一步完善和构建网络。
