Social Inclusion for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities
Abstract: This is part 11 of 18 in a series of videos from the National Goals in Research, Policy, and Practice meeting. The meeting aimed to advance a research agenda that influence policy and practice for and with people who have intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Run time: 7 minutes 07 seconds. Speaker defines what social inclusion means and how being part of a community involves two things (or a combination of both); relationships and social activities. He provides an example of what community integration is like now and the challenges people with IDD face when trying to engage in social activities or relationships and describes three things he thinks we need to focus on that will help include individuals with IDD as members of their community, not just members in it. Research shows that when people with IDD engage in leisure activities with people without IDD they tend to build relationships, break down barriers, and change the attitudes of community members. Run time: 7 minute 07 seconds.
