History of services and support for people with intellectual disabilities
Abstract
The focus of the paper is the history of services and support for people with intellectual disabilities in Canada from the years before 1960 through to the present time.
Treatment of such people within institutions and the terminology used in describing mental disabilities are looked at as well as the role of advocacy groups and government in the handling and treatment of this portion of our society.
Specific references to Haliburton County and the development of the Haliburton County Association for Community Living are found throughout.
