Abstract
The use of language to construct and drive societal and professional approaches to intellectual and developmental disabilities have undergone significant change across the 20th and into the 21st century throughout Europe. The changes in political, professional and colloquial language reflect increasingly inclusive practices and recognition of human rights based approached to people with IDD internationally.
