Although community living and participation (CLP) is associated with increased economic self-sufficiency, rates of happiness, and high quality of life among individuals with intellectual disability (ID), the rates of individuals with ID experiencing CLP outcomes remain below their same-age peers. Although the expectations of individuals with ID and their family members influence CLP outcomes, which bioecological factors have the greatest influence on expectations remains largely unknown, thereby weakening the foundations upon which efforts and policies designed to enhance CLP are developed. The purpose of this scoping review was to map knowledge of relationships between bioecological factors and CLP expectations from the perspectives of individuals with ID and families of individuals with ID. Recommendations for research, policy, and practices are described.
