Inclusive Communities = Stronger Communities GLOBAL REPORT ON ARTICLE 19: THE RIGHT TO LIVE AND BE INCLUDED IN THE COMMUNITY 139 Table 12: Using the results of inclusion international’s research on the right to live and be included in the community. Steps to Inclusion 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Research Finding People with intellectual disabilities don’t have the chance to decide where and with whom they live. People with intellectual disabilities have few choices about where they can live. Institutions deprive people of their rights. Most individuals with intellectual disabilities live at home with their families and receive little or no support. Families receive little or no support to help care for a person with an intellectual disabilities. Even when people with intellectual disabilities live in the community they are often isolated. Community systems – education, health, transportation, political processes, cultural and religious groups, employment, etc. – exclude people with intellectual disabilities. Strategies • Encourage and support children and adults who have an intellectual disabilities to speak for themselves and to express their hopes and dreams. • Focus on planning with individuals so they can create futures around their interests and desires. • Take advantage of services, programmes, jobs that are available in the community for all and provide support options there. • Don’t build new large centres to house people with intellectual disabilities. • Don’t invest in refurbishing existing large centres. • Start planning for the people now living in large centres so that they can become included in their communities. • Remove all incentives that give more support to children or adults if they move away from their families. • Provide supports to families AND to individuals with disabilities. Support organizations of families as well as selfadvocacy. • Conduct public awareness about people with intellectual disabilities to reduce stigma and prejudice. • Invest in making community programmemes and services accessible and inclusive rather than in programmes exclusively for people with disabilities.
