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. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Intellectual Disability Australasia, 41(2), p. 5-8 | Publisher: | Australasian Society for Intellectual Disability (ASID) | Place of Publication: | Keswick, Australia | ISSN: | 1446-9987 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2020: | 420318 People with disability 420305 Health and community services 420321 Rural and remote health services |
