The People First Movement is an initiative that emphasizes the rights and dignity of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. It advocates for person-centered approaches, prioritizing the needs, preferences, and voices of people with disabilities in decision-making processes. This movement seeks to empower individuals to live independently, participate in their communities, and receive support tailored to their unique circumstances. By promoting inclusion and challenging societal norms, the People First Movement strives to create a world where people with disabilities are respected, valued, and treated as equal members of society.
