abstract: The physical inclusion of children and adults with intellectual disabilities is central but not
sufficient in itself to achieve their meaningful social inclusion. The well-being and social
inclusion of persons with intellectual disabilities is challenged by negative attitudes held
among the general population and sub-sections of societies around the world. Yet
information relating to inclusion and the wider societal context of attitudes to intellectual
disability is fragmented and relates mainly to high income countries, despite a higher
prevalence of intellectual disability in developing countries. There is very little comparative
data to judge what attitudes towards adults and children with intellectual disabilities are held
around the globe; to what extent prejudice and discrimination prevail; or what is being done
to combat stigma associated with intellectual disability. For many countries worldwide, we
have no access to published information on these issues. Our central objective in the
current project was to begin to fill this gap by presenting global data on indicators related to
the social inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities, continuing attitudinal barriers
around the world, and attempts to address these.
