This article examines the debate concerning the social integration of people with intellectual disability into the local community by considering the concept of independence in theory and in practice. A review of the literature in this area, is followed by a study of the support model in Milan, Italy, which places interdependence at the heart of the approach. The possibility of incorporating interdependence into British services is considered by calling for a reassessment of the ways in which relationships between people with disabilities and people with and without intellectual disabilities are valued by service providers.
