Abstract A telephone survey was conducted to determine attitudes towards individuals with intellectual disabilities. This article explores the perceptions of the public regarding the best living arrangements for adults with intellectual disabilities. A majority of the 680 respondents believed that some form of community living would work best, either in a supervised apartment or in a group home. Less than 20% of respondents felt a group home would negatively impact their neighbourhood. Respondents also indicated that they believed that a lack of community services was a major obstacle to inclusion within communities of people with intellectual disabilities. download article >>
