Résumé

There is a lack of psychometrically validated tools to evaluate the extent to which people with intellectual disability (ID) truly exercise their rights in all areas of their lives. The aim of this article is to provide evidence about the usefulness and reliability of the pilot version of the #Rights4MeToo Scale, an instrument based on the Quality of Life Supports Model. The scale can be self-reported by people with ID or hetero-reported by family members or professionals. First, through a qualitative study with self-advocates with ID, we provide evidence about the need and usefulness of this tool to understand and monitor compliance with the Convention on Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). Next, we present preliminary data on the internal consistency of the items that make up the pilot version, analyzing the responses of 1,200 people with ID, family members, and professionals. The #Rights4MeToo Scale will make it possible to conduct national studies on compliance with the CRPD, not to mention international comparative studies when the scale is adapted to the legal and cultural context of other countries.
