Get PDFBackground: We investigated the effects of the âCare for Participation+â (CFP+) intervention on direct support professionalsâ (DSPsâ) attitudes regarding the participation of adults with visual and severe or profound intellectual disabilities (VSPID). Methods: We implemented a pilot non-randomized controlled trial with two control groups to compare DSPsâ attitudes towards CFP+ using the Attitudes towards Participation Questionnaire (APQ) and DSPsâ written profiles of adults with VSPID. Results: CPP+ and the Participation Mind Map control group showed a positive trend for the âleisure/recreation,â âsocial relations,â and âability to actâ APQ domains compared to the usual care control group. The CFP+ group described significantly fewer disabilities at 6 months, reflecting a more positive attitude than controls. Conclusion: CFP+ had positive effects on DSPsâ attitudes towards the participation of adults with VSPID. The small sample size, ceiling effects, measurement instruments used, and implementation difficulties may have hampered understanding the full potential of CFP+
