We identified four research areas in which a socially comprehensive ecological model can be advanced: (1) implementation of a socially comprehensive organization; (2) the implementation of a mental and developmental disorder Social integration with family life. Social integration of disabled population and (4) potential role of self-defense organization in promoting social inclusion

Historically, people with intellectual impairment have been excluded from obstacles by prejudice and discrimination in society (learning disabilities, on the Internet).

Social participation related to people with disabilities increases participation in society and supports their independent living (Office for Social Inclusion, 2003). Regarding social inclusion, many organizations such as "voluntary organizations and community organizations" use the notion of defending their members to improve social inclusion and participation (Woods, 2003: 21).
