Deinstitutionalization is the movement to relocate persons with intellectual disabilities from large institutions into smaller, community-based, group living settings. Integration refers to the inclusion of individuals with disabilities into mainstream society. Inclusion is a broad term that encompasses creating an environment that welcomes diversity and accepts individuals regardless of their abilities. Normalization refers to the philosophy that individuals with disabilities should have the opportunity to live as normal a life as possible. While all of these concepts may be related to the movement towards community-based living for persons with intellectual disabilities, deinstitutionalization specifically refers to the relocation from large institutions.
