Abstract

Abstract Date Presented 04/01/2022 Intimate relationships are significantly associated with quality of life for young people with Down syndrome (DS). These relationships are a facet of social participation within the scope of OT practice that is not often addressed in practice. This descriptive study explores self-determination and perceptions of intimate relationships from the perspective of young adults with DS (ages 18-30 years) and their caregivers. Implications of findings for OT practice are discussed. Primary Author and Speaker: Katherine Williams Contributing Authors: Evguenia Popova, Katie Frank
