In Canada, the struggle for people with intellectual disabilities to gain recognition as citizens and to be included in the mainstream has gone on for more than 30 years (Wolfsenberger, 1980; Brown & Smith, 1992). For the past 10 years, the Canadian government and advocates for persons with intellectual disabilities have shifted their efforts from appeals and legislation on the basis of human rights in favour of an emphasis on full citizenship for members of this systemically excluded segment of the population.
