Adults with Intellectual and/or Developmental Disabilities (I/DD) experience a variety of barriers that impact their participation in social interactions and community engagement; however, there is a distinct lack of targeted programming for this population. As adults with I/DD are beginning to live independently within their communities well into old age, it is necessary to understand the unique needs of the I/DD population and explore potential interventions to better facilitate inclusivity and independence for this population. With training in developmental stages, transitions, and activity analysis, occupational therapists can educate, train, and prepare individuals with I/DD for independently engaging in meaningful activities within their communities. This Opinions in the Profession paper aims to inform members of the occupational therapy community of the role that occupational therapists have in developing social skills programs to facilitate independence among the I/DD population and share an example of the development and implementation of one program. The Creating Community program increased knowledge, participation, skills, and confidence among individuals with I/DD and highlights a need for continued research in various service delivery methods for occupation-based group programming.
