Poverty …
‘Fundamentally, poverty is a denial of choices and opportunities, a violation of human dignity. It means lack of basic capacity to participate effectively in society.’
- UN Economic & Social Council (1998)

Poverty and Intellectual Disability
In high income economies there is a clear association between poverty and the incidence and prevalence of mild/moderate (but not severe) intellectual disability

Controlling for increased risks of exposure to potential hazards accounts for 20-35% of the increased risk of

Interventions: Building Resilience Individual Family Community
Nurturing, affectionate and secure relationships with parent
Supportive relationship with other adult
Positive, rewarding school environments
Sense of ‘connectedness’ to the school and/or local community
Positive personal achievements Involvement in pro-social peer
groups Positive ‘temperament’ Problem solving Sense of meaning

In Conclusion ….
The health & social inequalities faced by people with intellectual disabilities are, in part, the result of poverty (rather than intellectual disability)
To address these inequalities we need to think beyond social & clinical interventions and directly address the social factors that generate inequality
