===People with intellectual and developmental disabilities===
{{main|Self-advocacy}}

People with [[intellectual disability|intellectual]] and [[developmental disability|developmental disabilities]] focus their efforts on ensuring that they have the same [[human rights]] as other people and that they are treated like human beings. Since the formation of the [[self advocacy movement]] in the 1960s, the largest focus of the movement has been to get people with I/DD out of institutions and into the community.<ref>{{cite web |title=The Goals of Self Advocacy |url=https://mn.gov/mnddc/parallels/seven/7c/1.html |website=Parallels in Time: A History of Developmental Disabilities |access-date=9 January 2023}}</ref> Another main focus is ensuring that people with intellectual and developmental disabilities are in integrated workplaces that pay at least [[minimum wage]]. In the US, it is still legal to pay people with I/DD below minimum wage in [[sheltered workshop]]s.<ref>{{cite web |title=Real Work for Real Pay: A Self Advocate's Guide to Employment Policy |url=https://autisticadvocacy.org/policy/toolkits/employment/ |website=Autistic Self Advocacy Network |date=2 October 2018 |access-date=9 January 2023}}</ref> Many people with intellectual and developmental disabilities are put under guardianship and are not allowed to make their own decisions about their lives.<ref>{{cite web |title=Autonomy, Decision-Making, and Guardianship |url=https://www.aaidd.org/news-policy/policy/position-statements/guardianship |website=AAIDD_CMS |language=en}}</ref>

Another issue is the continued dehumanization of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, which prompted the slogan People First, still used as a rallying cry and a common organizational name in the self advocacy movement.<ref>{{cite web |title="We Are People First" |url=https://mn.gov/mnddc/parallels/seven/7b/5.html |website=Parallels in TIme: A History of Developmental Disabilities |access-date=9 January 2023}}</ref> Self advocates are also involved in the "R-Word" Campaign, in which they try to eliminate the use of the word "retard".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.r-word.org/|title=R-word - Spread the Word to End the Word|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081029231131/http://www.r-word.org/| archive-date=29 October 2008| publisher=Special Olympics |year=2008  |agency=The Joseph P.
