In today’s diverse and interconnected world, the concept of community holds a special significance, particularly for individuals experiencing intellectual disabilities. Community is more than just a group of people living in proximity; it is a network of support, belonging, and shared experiences that can profoundly impact quality of life. For those with intellectual disabilities, a strong, inclusive community is not just beneficial—it is essential.
