The objective of the study was to analyze social support from a relational approach through Personal Network Analysis. A total of 41 young people with mild intellectual disabilities participated in the study, in two groups differentiated according to their educational stage, either compulsory secondary education or post-compulsory training. Descriptive and comparative results are presented based on the variables of structure, composition, and functional content in the social support of their personal networks. The results show that both groups have restricted personal networks, made up of members of the family and the educational environment who constitute the main providers of support. When moving towards adult life, the change in social contacts in other educational, geographical, and relational settings may mean a change in the provision of support received in previous life stages. Developing social and educational actions to support these people in the development and maintenance of social relationships is essential to their access to support resources that will affect their social inclusion.Judit FullanaGemma Díaz-GaroleraCarolina PuyaltóAna ReyRosario Fernández-PeñaMDPI AGarticleintellectual disabilitiespersonal network analysissocial networks analysissocial supporttransition to adult lifeMedicineRENInternational Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, Vol 18, Iss 11810, p 11810 (2021)
