naslovna

For social orders to extend their assets fully to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, we envision a world where

  1. The rights of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities are respected and acted upon
  2. People with intellectual and developmental disabilities live among us with dignity and respect
  3. People with intellectual and developmental disabilities have the education and supports they require
  4. People with intellectual and developmental disabilities contribute to their societies in positive ways
  5. People with intellectual and developmental disabilities enjoy the quality of life of their own determination.

For the strengths the world to be used in positive ways to help the field of intellectual and developmental disabilities, we envision a world where 

  1. National and international leadership in intellectual and developmental disabilities and other disabilities flourishes
  2. Poor environment conditions that contribute to intellectual and developmental disabilities and other disabilities are overcome
  3. Medical and related knowledge is used to prevent intellectual and developmental disabilities and to enable people with intellectual and developmental disabilities
  4. Emerging technology is used to assist, rather than segregate, intellectual and developmental disabilities
  5. The professions and families that support people with intellectual and developmental disabilities are respected and honored in society (Brown I, Schalock R. L, Percy M, Rioux M. H.
