摘要：The legislative and policy framework for participation of people with intellectual disabilities (PWID) in India has never been better. Yet opportunities and examples of participation for those with intellectual impairment remain very low. A review of Emmanuel Hospital Association’s (EHA) three projects working among people with disabilities in three diverse locations in North India summarises some of the significant barriers to participation. We then provide signposts for a way forward, to a world where people with intellectual disabilities are able to participate in decisions. This participation is in every sphere, from decisions about activities of daily living, medical care and future care options as well as inclusion into relevant service provision planning and policy making, at community, state and national levels
