This article discusses the history of self-advocacy in Denmark. It also gives some information about how services for people with learning difficulties in Denmark have changed over the past 100 years. The author discusses the different types of self-advocacy groups that have grown in Denmark. He describes how these movements have developed in 'generations'. Three 'generations' are identified: movements of cultural role transgression; movements of self-advocacy; and movements of political empowerment. The author draws on theory to help explain some of the developments that self-advocacy groups in Denmark have been through during their history.
