People with developmental disabilities can benefit from a community integration approach.

 Conducting daily tasks is a manner of living life for most ordinary people. However, some individuals are unable to do so without assistance. Even if they are able to perform it on their own, it is difficult and painful. It is more comfortable for their families to place such people, often known as disabled persons, in institutions against their will - institutions that were designed to aid and care for them but have turned into breeding grounds for maltreatment, abuse, and neglect.

People with developmental disabilities have long-term medical concerns that can be caused by genetic and prenatal abnormalities, as well as preterm birth, making going about their daily routine a major concern for them and their families. They are individuals who have either physical or mental problems, or both.

Community integration is the process of becoming a self-dignified member of a community in which each individual has certain rights and liberties. It is a right that everyone has, regardless of their mental or physical health, race, caste, religion, sex, or age.

The notion of community integration for individuals with developmental disabilities is based on the idea that disabled people, like other people, have equal rights to live in a community rather than being locked up in institutions unnecessarily. Even the  Nations has taken up the cause, and several western countries, such as the United States, have established legislation protecting the rights of persons with mental and physical disabilities, allowing them to live in the community rather than being hospitalized indefinitely. Such legislation enables the community to embrace developmentally handicapped persons as active members of society and to assist them in living in a supervised community integration deal that incorporates equal opportunities in education, work, housing, healthcare, and recovery.
