Product Description:

Shared citizenship means ensuring that individuals with IDD have equal rights, opportunities, and participation in society — not just access to services, but meaningful inclusion in civic, social, and economic life. This vision aligns with the AAIDD's 12th edition definition of intellectual disability, which emphasizes limitations in intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior that originate before age 22, and which underpins the need for systematic supports and inclusive systems
