El apoyo activo como herramienta para la mejora de la participación de la persona con discapacidad intelectual. Estado de la cuestión
Resumen
El apoyo activo, a pesar de ser utilizado desde hace más de 20 años en otros lugares, aún es una metodología desconocida en los servicios que prestan apoyo a las personas con discapacidad intelectual y altas necesidades de apoyo en nuestro país. En este artículo se pretende realizar un acercamiento a la fundamentación y a las estrategias promulgadas por el apoyo activo, a través de una revisión documental de 24 estudios en los que se analizan los cambios observados, tanto en la vida de los residentes como en la actividad de los profesionales de apoyo directo tras la aplicación de esta metodología.
