Abstract
The study examined factors affecting participation in leisure activities of Jewish and Arab adults with intellectual disabilities living in the community, via the conceptual framework of the International Classification of Functioning Disability and Health (ICF). The secondary analysis of national sample of 520 Jews and 153 Arab adults with intellectual disability incorporated the following ICF factors: body functions (health condition, physical functioning and cognitive functioning), activities, namely, Activities of Daily Living (ADL) and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL), participation in employment, and the environmental factor of welfare service utilization. Findings revealed different patterns among Jews and Arabs with intellectual disabilities regarding the roles of physical functioning and cognitive functioning on participation in leisure activities.
