| Abstract: | Background: Social inclusion is a fundamental right of people with intellectual disabilities who face ongoing barriers to their community participation (CRPD). Objectives: This article presents a qualitative study focused on the experience of 10 people with intellectual disabilities in three key community spaces: public, consumption, and socialisation. Methods: Semi-structured interviews supported with visual aids were used to identify places frequented, level of involvement, barriers and supports in relation to community participation. Results: The findings indicate that, although presence in public space is common, interactions are often superficial, limited by a lack of accessibility and discriminatory attitudes. In the consumption space, some people manage to establish meaningful relationships, but economic restrictions and attitudinal barriers persist. In the socialisation space, participation increases when they take on active roles. Conclusions: This study highlights the need for inclusive strategies that favour accessibility, attitudinal and structural changes to ensure full community participation.
