Abstract
To date only a few studies focused on financial capability, especially in people with a mild intellectual disability (MID). Exploring this subject is important, as people with MID are at greater risk of being in debt and experiencing poverty. Three instruments, the Financial Competence Assessment Inventory (FCAI), the Financial Decision-Making Interview (FDMI) and the Financial Performance Scale (FiPS) are developed to examine financial capability, but these have not been used in the Dutch MID population. Therefore, the aim of this study is to examine whether these instruments are applicable to the Dutch MID population. Additionally, the aim is to explore the financial capability of people with MID. This is done by administering the instruments together with an additional interview in five participants with MID. Data of the instruments is analyzed in a descriptive way, and the data of the interviews is analyzed by thematic analysis. Results show that the instruments are applicable but applicability can be increased by making minor changes. Results also show that several themes can be identified regarding the financial capability of people with MID, like assistance of others, positive aspects and negative aspects. The conclusions of this study are that the instruments are applicable and that people with MID generally have a lower financial capability than people without MID. Further research into a larger group of people with MID is advised.
