Book Description
This book explores why, after forty years of funded policies of social inclusion, persons living with an intellectual disability are still separated from the social fabric of neoliberal societies. David Treanor shows how the nature of the reform process is driven unnecessarily by the economic neoliberal paradigm, the cultural misconceptions of intellectual disability, and the inattention accorded to personal relationships between persons living with and without an intellectual disability. Treanor utilizes John Macmurray’s personalist philosophy, Julia Kristeva’s ontology of disability and Michele Foucault’s concept of bio-power to explain this phenomenon. The concepts in this book challenge current approaches to social inclusion and have radical implications for future practices.

Book Description
What happens when a group traditionally defined as lacking the necessary capacities of citizenship is targeted by government programs that have made 'citizenship inclusion' their main goal? Combining theoretical perspectives of political philosophy, social theory, and disability studies, this book untangles the current state of Western intellectual disability politics following the replacement of state institutionalisation by independent and supported living, individual rights, and self-determination. Taking its cue from Foucault's conception of 'biopolitics', denoting the government of the individuals and the totality of the population, its overarching argument is that the ambiguous positioning of people with intellectual disabilities with respect to the ideals of citizenship results in a regime of government that simultaneously includes and excludes people of this group. On the one hand, its members are projected to become ideal-citizens via the cultivation of citizenship capacities. On the other, the right to live independently and by their own choices is curtailed as soon as they are seen as failing with respect to the ideals of reason and rationality. Therefore, coercion, restraints, and paternalism, which were all supposed to end with deinstitutionalisation, are still ingrained in services targeting the group. In equal parts a theoretical work, advancing debates of critical disability theory, social theory, and post-structural philosophy, as well as an empirical engagement with the history of intellectual disability politics and the ways in which present day politics target the group, this book will be of interest to all students and scholars of disability studies, disability politics, and political theory.

Book Description
Social inclusion enhances the quality of life of young adults with intellectual disabilities (id). Young adults with id continue to face prejudice and discrimination that limit their social inclusion. They experience limited social inclusion because there are not enough appropriate activities available and they have limited opportunities to develop friendships. The social inclusion that people with disabilities experience within their local community varies greatly. There is a deficiency in the literature concerning the social inclusion of young adults with id. Previous considerations of disability have focused primarily on physical access and reflect the local contexts in which the participants live. There is a need to understand the social inclusion of young adults with id and to advocate for change. The purpose of the present study was to describe the social inclusion of young adults with intellectual disabilities and to identify contexts that limit or enhance their social inclusion. Social inclusion was defined as being involved in activities, developing and maintaining relationships, and having a sense of belonging. Participants included fourteen adults from 22 to 35 years of age with a mild or moderate intellectual disability who were able to verbally communicate their thoughts and experiences. I used the phenomenological qualitative research design to explore the lived experiences of social inclusion for young adults with id. I collected data through semi-structured interviews. During the interviews, I asked the participants open-ended questions about their experiences of social inclusion and the context of their experiences. The length of each interview session and number of sessions were flexible to accommodate the needs of the participants. The findings consisted of themes that described their experiences of social inclusion and the contexts of their experiences. Their social inclusion consisted of involvement in work, volunteer, social, recreational, and leisure activities; reciprocal relationships; and the sense of belonging derived from accepting environments and self-determination. Their social inclusion was influenced by the contexts of their experiences including living accommodations, transportation options, personal abilities and skills, financial resources, assistance from family members, and assistance from service providers.

Book Description
Inclusion is an important component of quality of life. It is linked to issues such as participation in society, relationships, social networks and civil society. Viewed from this perspective, the social position of people with an intellectual disability in Europe in general and in the Netherlands in particular, still leaves much to be desired. Often segregation and marginalization still exist. Social Inclusion focuses on the factors for success and failure that come into play when designing inclusion processes. The book examines the role of health care organizations and their contributions to inclusion. From the perspective of the health care organization, the following issues are explored: • To what extent has the history of health care been obstructive for inclusion? • Which roles do government, advocates and stakeholders play? • Which roles are played by organizational features, the employees and those with an intellectual disability who are supported by a health care organization? • Which implementation strategy would be the most appropriate when designing changes? The book shows that important lessons can be learned from Dutch health care. It provides valuable insights resulting from the research that lies at the basis of this publication. Dr Hans R.Th. Kröber is the managing director of a support organization for people with learning disabilities and people with intellectual disabilities in the Greater Rotterdam area. Hans J. van Dongen MBA is a consultant for strategic change management and communication in civil-society organizations. To date they have published four books, all of which focus on care and support for people with disabilities.

Book Description
Practising Social Inclusion presents what we know about what works, and why, in promoting social inclusion and practising in a socially inclusive way. Contributing to the growing debates on social inclusion, this book moves beyond discussion of who it is that is socially excluded and the processes of exclusion. It draws on research and reflective practice to answer the vital question of how to actually work towards inclusion and includes five sections looking at different arenas for practice: policy; programme design; service delivery; community life; and research. Relevant to all those working to promote, or researching, human health and wellbeing, this book is especially suitable for practitioners, students and scholars in health promotion, social work, social policy, public health, disability studies, occupational therapy and nursing.
