| Abstract: | Key issues: - Historically people with intellectual disabilities have not always had choice and control over their lives. - Self-advocacy is a key way in which people with intellectual disabilities can have a voice and ultimately more choice and control. - There are different types of advocacy which centre on: an individual speaking up for themselves; an individual speaking up for someone else; and a group of people speaking up together. - Those who support people with intellectual disabilities should aim to promote self-advocacy in their practice by supporting people to speak up for themselves. - Sometimes, it will still be necessary to speak up on behalf of people with intellectual disabilities. - Policy and legislation support the promotion of self-advocacy. - The values and attitudes of those who support people with intellectual disabilities are very important in relation to self-advocacy and advocacy. |
