For support for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) to be relevant and effective, support providers and policy makers should consider the social and cultural construction of IDD when creating, providing, and funding support. In this article, we adopt the O’Conner et al. (2007) conceptual framework for understanding personhood (i.e., subjective experience, the interactional environment, and the socio-cultural context) to discuss key factors related to the construction of personhood of people with IDD in Kinshasa and the impact that this construction may have on creation of and/or access to support. We conclude by suggesting various future support interventions that may facilitate the achievement of full personhood for individuals with IDD in Kinshasa and arguably in similar contexts.
