Inclusive Communities = Stronger Communities GLOBAL REPORT ON ARTICLE 19: THE RIGHT TO LIVE AND BE INCLUDED IN THE COMMUNITY 99 Chapter 6: Future Directions in Advancing a Framework for Inclusion in the Community ARTICLE 19 PROVIDES A FRAMEWORK for understanding the barriers and opportunities for achieving the right to live independently and be included in the community. We heard from people with intellectual disabilities and their families about the issues that impact on the realization of this human right. In this section of the report we point to future directions which will enable the realization of Article 19.
100 Inclusive Communities = Stronger Communities GLOBAL REPORT ON ARTICLE 19: THE RIGHT TO LIVE AND BE INCLUDED IN THE COMMUNITY Choice Choice, in the context of living and being included in the community, is about having housing options and support options that meet an individual’s vision for living and being included in the community and being supported in making decisions about those options. Recognizing we all have realities that restrict and define our housing options such our financial means, location, etc., we know that options cannot be open ended. Choices for everyone are shaped by socio-economic, cultural and geo-political realities. However real choice is only possible when we have a voice and control in our own lives and when the options available to us are the same as options available to others in our community. It is about ensuring that adults with intellectual disabilities have the same options and choices as adults without intellectual disabilities to live and be included in their communities. For some people with intellectual disabilities this may mean living alone or with friends; for others this may mean living with family. What matters is that the choice is reflective of the individual’s preference and not restricted by a lack of options and/or supports. Families and self-advocates may need support to develop a vision of possible options and/or to think beyond what is currently available. Governments need to invest in ensuring that housing options and supports are available and delivered in ways that are responsive to and reflective of the vision that people with intellectual disabilities have about living and being included in the community To be able to make a real choice about where and with whom one lives a person needs:
