This chapter explores life in Czechoslovakia (later Czech Republic) in the 20th Century for people with intellectual disabilities. It opens at the time that the Czech lands were part of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire. This was a period marked by efforts to increase the quality of institutional care for people with intellectual disabilities. The authors then describe the period of communism. They discuss the controversial nature of an Education Act (1948), which contained a well-established network of special schools for students with disabilities as a regular part of the school system, and yet it introduced the concept of “being uneducable” for students with severe and profound intellectual disabilities. The authors also debate the role of a parental movement in advocacy for the rights of people with intellectual disabilities. The chapter concludes with the period after the fall of communism, when compulsory education was introduced for all children with no exception.

People With Intellectual Disabilities

The movement of people with intellectual disabilities into the community is increasingly endorsed by public policy. Whilst staff are critical to a successful transition to the community, there is only scattered research on their role in supporting people to move. In this study, 32 staff and the 16 people with intellectual disabilities they supported to move from congregated settings to group homes or personalized living arrangements in the community were interviewed on two occasions, before (time 1) and after (time 2) the move. In congregated settings, staff steered the move to community living, they helped them to settle in community group homes and supported them to increase control over their lives in personalized community arrangements, where they support became increasingly more personalized and geared towards community participation and development of social relationships. Implications for staff training are drawn.

This chapter provides an overview of the role of the independent care regulators across the UK and the Republic of Ireland. It provides information on arrangements for care regulators within the specific jurisdictions of Scotland, England, Wales, Northern Ireland, and the Republic of Ireland. This chapter outlines the role of the independent care regulators in both inspecting and supporting the development of quality in services. Nurses for people with intellectual disabilities need to have a rounded and balanced understanding of the role of these care regulators, as well as the standards and resources they provide, in order to maximize the quality of care provided to people with intellectual disabilities.

People With Intellectual Disabilities

A significant component of the role of nurses for people with intellectual disabilities is contributing to enabling people with intellectual disabilities to live the lifestyle they choose. Advice about residential alternatives, work, supported employment, and planning on retirement are all things on which the nurse should be able to advise, and signpost people to the services they need. Importantly, helping and advising the family and carers about setting up networks and circles of support and that making and keeping friends are as important and can all contribute to leading a happy and healthy lifestyle.
