Grieving Support Practices for People With Intellectual Disabilities: A Scoping Review
People with intellectual disabilities (ID) are often excluded from death rituals and do not get the support they need to cope with their bereavement. To provide relevant solutions on the subject, practices aimed at supporting people with ID going through a grieving process have been listed in this scoping review. The practices presented in seventeen articles reviewed in this paper offer either direct support to the bereaved person, support to support workers or support for both. Practices aimed at supporting people with ID who are going through bereavement remain few and are poorly documented. However, several of these practices are of interest for clinical settings, such as those that are art-based.
