Abstract

This study aimed to increase the understanding of this disability disclosure of people with intellectual disability by examining the determinants of their disclosure at work. For this aim, six individuals with intellectual disability were interviewed, and consensual qualitative research (CQR) was used to identify factors related to their disability disclosure. As results, the factors that affect the disability disclosure were largely divided into personal variables and environmental variables, and various factors including confidence, disability severity, employment type, employers, co-workers, and organizational culture were mentioned. The results of this study can help people have better understanding about disability disclosure in employment settings. We also discuss how vocational education for individuals with intellectual disability should be offered.
