Abstract

There is a dearth of research surrounding religious minorities regarding religion and spirituality for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and existing studies often solely explore if youth with IDD can be religious and spiritual. A better understanding of religious minorities can enhance the inclusion of youth with (IDD). In this multiple case study, Jewish youth with IDD participated in two semistructured interviews and an observation of a Jewish ritual/practice. Three themes and eight subthemes emerged related to accessing religion and spirituality. The implications from this study can help prepare religious leaders, clergy, and researchers to better support, engage, and include Jewish youth with IDD. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
