This program is designed to assist people with an intellectual disability who live in institutions to decide whether or not to live in the community. Doug Pentland and Dot Scanlon who have moved into the community, and John Sposito and Robert Dobbins who are preparing to leave an institution discuss some of the difficult issues they face and things people with an intellectual disability need to know about living in the community.
