Abstract
In Switzerland, most adults with intellectual disability live in institutions. By the end of the 19th century some institutions had been founded, most of them in a Christian context. Over the last 10 years, autonomy (independent living) and integration/inclusion have become issues. From 1980, when individuals with intellectual disabilities left psychiatric hospitals, several smaller residential units were set up (Heer, 2005).
