Dimensions of Belonging for Individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Belonging and Resilience in Individuals with Developmental Disabilities

Part of the book series: Emerging Issues in Family and Individual Resilience ((EIIFR))

Abstract

What does it mean to belong? For individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), the experience of belonging within schools, workplaces, congregations, neighborhoods, or community groups is often elusive or ephemeral. Yet belonging should be an essential component of our collective efforts to promote the flourishing of individuals with IDD and their families. The chapter addresses how our pursuits in the field of disability have evolved over time and are now pushing beyond integration and inclusion. I present a practical framework for conceptualizing belonging and suggest practices and postures that can promote each of its ten dimensions. I conclude with recommendations for resilience-focused research and practice aimed at fostering communities of belonging for individuals with IDD.
