Abstract
Individuals who experience intellectual disabilities, or I.D., have to rely on several different agencies within the community for support. For an individual with an I.D., there are six main aspects of care that are essential to their life: housing, health care, education/vocational training, occupation, recreation, and socialization. Since care for individuals with I.D. shifted from the institutional model in the mid 20th Century, these services have been a constant reminder that our society is created by and for able-minded individuals. This paper advocates that the government should provide further funding for socialization services, and inprove the quality of services for individuals in Haliburton County who experience intellectual disabilities.
