In Taiwan, 92-95% of people with an intellectual disability (ID) live with their families, with the remaining residing in residential facilities. Instead of funding community-living alternatives, the Taiwanese Government funds only registered facilities as part of its residential policies and services. The purpose of this study was to evaluate current policies and services trends regarding people with an ID in Taiwan.
Both documentary research, such as an analysis of policies, services programmes, official statistics, surveys, reports and funding provision reports, and a mail survey, were conducted to examine current trends and characteristics of the 96 residential settings available for people with an ID in Taiwan.
During the 1990s in Taiwan, residential programmes for people with an ID showed the biggest growth since 1952. Since the first 'Community Home' was launched in 1990, the number of smaller scale residential settings with a unit size of less than 30 has grown significantly, particularly since 2000. However, the rate of institutionalization of people with an ID and who live in the institutions has also risen.
In Taiwan, unlike in Western societies, residential services for people with an ID provided by formal care systems are tending to grow in number, and these include both large and smaller residential settings.
在台湾，92 - 95%的智障人士与家人同住，其余的居住在寄宿机构。台湾政府的寄宿政策和服务中，不是为社区生活替代方案提供资金，而是仅为注册机构提供资金。本研究的目的是评估台湾目前关于智障人士的政策和服务趋势。
进行了文献研究，如对政策、服务项目、官方统计数据、调查、报告和资金提供报告的分析，以及邮件调查，以研究台湾96个可供智障人士居住的场所的当前趋势和特征。
在台湾，20世纪90年代，智障人士的寄宿项目自1952年以来增长幅度最大。自1990年首个“社区之家”推出以来，单元规模小于30人的小规模寄宿场所数量显著增加，尤其是自2000年以来。然而，居住在机构中的智障人士的机构化比率也有所上升。
在台湾，与西方社会不同，由正规护理系统提供的智障人士寄宿服务数量趋于增长，其中包括大型和小型寄宿场所。
