Abstract

This paper presents an intervention proposal for people with intellectual disabilities who work in carpentry and bookbinding workshops in an occupational centre, aiming at the prevention of injuries and/or musculoskeletal disorders that may originate from the participants' workload and work routine. For this, an annual program was designed, the main point of which is the application of workplace exercise routines, based on the features and needs of people with intellectual disabilities. The program consists of six phases, which are: gathering of background information, training and introduction of the activities, performance of the sessions, assessment of the process, biannual and final assessments, and, finally, completion of the program. One of the main features of the proposal is its feasibility, since it does not require major adaptations or further investments than those that already exist

Keywords: intellectual disability, occupational centre, workplace exercise, risks prevention
