Abstract
This chapter aims to examine available end-of-life research involving people with intellectual disability, with a focus on their experiences, rather than the views of others such as caregivers and clinicians. In part, it is intended to complement Chapter 1, which dealt with general community experiences. This chapter provides an overview of the current participation and experience of people with intellectual disability in end-of-life matters. Many ensuing chapters offer further detail and these are referred to throughout.
