Community Living Ontario

Citizenship is about experiencing human rights, responsibilities, and opportunities.
For many people, including people who have an intellectual disability, it also means belonging.

Belonging in;

• daycares, schools, colleges  and universities
• places of work, culture, and recreation
• worship and spiritual fellowship
• politics and government
• economic exchange
• family, relationships, intimate partnerships, neighbourhoods

Supporting people who have an intellectual disability to belong makes good economic sense.

It also helps creates communities that are vibrant, strong and diverse.
