Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to provide a foundation and context for the other chapters in this book. It will first explore definitions of intellectual disability, and then move to examine how intellectual disability has been understood historically in diverse ways, and how it continues to be understood differently across cultures. Patterns of service provision, care, and support will then be discussed before drawing conclusions.
