“…Social inclusion has been a central concept within the field of intellectual disability for the last 30 years, but an upsurge of published literature suggests that scholars are reassessing the concept's value in the twenty-first century (Amado et al 2013;Bigby 2012;Cobigo et al 2012;Duggan and Linehan 2013;Hall 2009;Overmars-Marx et al 2014;Clifford Simplican et al 2015). For example, Clifford Simplican et al (2015) argue that definitional disputes around social inclusion lead to methodological disagreements over how to measure inclusion, reveal philosophical differences in the purposes behind inclusion, and prompt some scholars to search for clearer concepts.…”

As mandates for social inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities remain unfulfilled, many scholars question whether the concept of inclusion is to blame. Critics worry that quantitative measurements of inclusion miss what should count: a meaningful life gained from a sense of belonging. We argue that both concepts -inclusion and belonging -embody a communitarian ethos in which citizens mirror the values of their community. In contrast, Chantal Mouffe's radical democratic approach to inclusion emphasizes the importance of difference and the inevitability of exclusion. Mouffe thus offers a way to broaden our approach to social inclusion in the twenty-first century.

“…The literature is, however, replete with conclusions that despite increased community presence, several decades of policies have not achieved community participation for adults with intellectual disabilities, irrespective of the particular definition that is adopted (Amado, Stancliffe, McCarron, & McCallion, 2013;Bigby & Fyffe, 2010;Gray et al, 2014;Overmars-Marx et al, 2014;Walker, 1999).…”

BackgroundLittle progress has been made towards community participation of people with intellectual disability despite it being a policy aim since the 1980s. We aimed to identify the features of programmes designed to support community participation.MethodA scoping review was conducted of peer‐reviewed literature between 2000 and 2015, about interventions to support community participation for adults with intellectual disability.ResultsA small body of evidence relates to the design and effectiveness of interventions to enhance community participation. Seventeen studies reported programmes reflecting three conceptualizations of community participation (as social relationships, as convivial encounter and as belonging) that used strategies such as active mentoring, facilitative support worker practice and arts‐based programmes.ConclusionsStudies showed the diverse and person‐centred nature of community participation and demonstrated the need for larger‐scale studies of promising interventions that include details of costs, and strategies to guide implementation of policies to support community participation.
