Resumo(s)
A inclusão de jovens com Perturbação do Espetro do Autismo (PEA) no mercado laboral constitui um desafio significativo, dada a presença das suas dificuldades específicas. Estas impactam a vida pessoal, escolar e profissional, influenciando o acesso ao trabalho. Apesar destes obstáculos, muitos destes jovens possuem competências relevantes para o contexto laboral, sendo fundamental assegurar apoios individualizados, adaptações no local de trabalho e programas de formação inclusivos. O sucesso na transição para a vida adulta depende, em grande medida, do desenvolvimento de capacidades de comunicação, autogestão e adaptação, bem como da existência de suporte estruturado. Este estudo pretende abordar o sucesso da inclusão profissional de um jovem com a Perturbação do Espetro do Autismo (PEA), sendo abordadas as medidas de apoio nesse processo, enfatizando o Projeto Incorpora, da Fundação La Caixa, responsável pelo êxito no caso estudado. A metodologia de investigação foi de natureza qualitativa, recorrendo ao estudo de caso de um jovem adulto de 27 anos, diagnosticado com PEA aos 10, a trabalhar numa loja num grande centro comercial na Região Centro de Portugal. Participaram no estudo, um elemento do contexto familiar (a mãe), a técnica de prospeção do Projeto Incorpora e o próprio jovem. As técnicas de recolha de dados utilizadas foram a análise documental, no que concerne à legislação, e entrevistas semiestruturadas. Os resultados conduziram à constatação da importância que os apoios – familiar, profissional e legal – representam, como facilitadores e minimizadores de dificuldades enfrentadas pelas pessoas com deficiência/incapacidade.
The inclusion of young people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in the labor market is a significant challenge, given the presence of their specific difficulties. These have impact on personal, school and professional life, in case, influencing access to work. Despite the obstacles, many of these young people have skills relevant to the work context, and it is essential to ensure individualized support, workplace adaptations and inclusive training programs. Successful transition to adulthood depends, to a large extent, on the development of communication skills, self-management and adaptation, as well as on the existence of structured support. This study aims to address the success of the professional inclusion of a young person with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), addressing the support measures in this process, emphasizing the Incorpora Project, from La Caixa Foundation, responsible for the success in the studied case. The research methodology was qualitative, using the case study of a 27-year-old young adult diagnosed with ASD at ten years old, working in a shop in a large shopping center in the Central Region of Portugal. An element of the family context (the mother), the professional of prospecting from the Incorpora Project and the young person themselves participated in the study. The data collection techniques used were document analysis, regarding the legislation, and semi-structured interviews. The results led to the importance that supports - family, professional and legal - represent, as facilitators and minimizers of difficulties faced by people with disabilities..
