Abstract
Active Support is a person‐focused model of care for people with an intellectual disability who live in community‐based small homes. The model aims to improve each person's quality of life by maximizing participation in all types of activities of daily life with appropriate support from staff. In this chapter, we describe the basic characteristics of Active Support, its relationship with Normalization theory and Applied Behavior Analysis, and the evidence base for Active Support interventions. The methods available for training support staff and the latest developments in the Active Support model are presented. We conclude by discussing issues related to the adoption of Active Support by residential services and policymakers, and identifying dimensions that require further exploration. These future challenges include the translation of the Active Support model into real‐world settings and long‐term maintenance of intervention effects.
