Moving Home

Moving Home is an international case studies research project, funded by a Marie Curie Career Integration Grant from the European Union. The purpose of this study is to learn about the lives of people with intellectual disability living in the community in three different places: Ireland, Canada and Northern Ireland. This study will give us some ideas about how to make living in the community a great experience for more people with intellectual disabilities, their families, friends, and neighbors.

Here are details about Living Well in the Community
The purpose of this study is to learn about the lives of people with intellectual disabilities living in the community.

We talked to people who live in the Republic of Ireland, Nova Scotia, Canada, and Northern Ireland.

In each place, we interviewed up to 15 people with intellectual disabilities who lived in larger group homes or institutions for more than 2 years and then moved into the community.
People told us about what was good and maybe not so good about their move.
