Six Ideas That Are Changing the IDD Field Internationally

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to discuss six ideas that are currently impacting policy makers and service/support providers in the field of intellectual and closely related developmental disabilities.  These six ideas are that people are influenced by multiple systems, disability should be approached holistically, disability policy needs to be approached systematically, supports should encompass elements of a system of supports, evaluation is multifaceted, and organizations need to transform to be sustainable.
