Abstract
The lifespan of people with intellectual disability has increased dramatically raising new challenges for the field of rehabilitation. This article discusses some of these developments in relation to quality of life. Using findings from studies in relation to aging and intellectual disability, a number of issues including leisure, advocacy, friendship and partnership are raised within the context of an holistic quality of life mode. A number of practical suggestions are made along with implications for research.Keywords
