An Ongoing Process: The Implementation of an Intervention for People With Profound Intellectual and Multiple Disabilities Over Time.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The "Programma Perspectief" intervention aims to provide optimal support to people with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities. Knowledge concerning intervention fidelity is outdated and scarce as is typical for the support of persons with special needs.

Methods

An survey amongst care professionals (n = 62) yielded data on the application of core elements of the intervention (vision, methodical approach, and collaboration) in practise, as well as on implementation barriers and facilitators.

Results

Vision and methodical approach are reflected in practise. A positive association was found between the number of perceived barriers and time since implementation. Over time, more barriers emerged at organisational level.

Conclusions

The results
