Abstract
Living 'rurally' remains one of the most significant barriers to accessing necessary supports. People with intellectual disabilities in a rural location are disadvantaged with respect to quality of life measures, and in being able to make meaningful decisions about their life. This article briefly reviews key background knowledge, and summarises what the research base recommends to improve the situation for rural residents with intellectual disability.
