Abstract

On a global scope, children with Intellectual Disabilities (ID) and their families face multiple challenges attaining support. While developed countries have established substantial support systems, such as the annual subsidy of approximately $47,315 per individual with ID in the United States [1], the implementation in middle-income countries like China remains fraught with challenges. China’s support policies, often tied to disability severity [2], exhibit significant regional disparities, making rural China a critical case for studying the policy-implementation gap. To mitigate such disparities, social policies for ID across the world have shifted from “medical mode” to “social mode” [3]. This study, similarly, focuses on the social dilemma related to ID through the utilization of a mixed-methods explanatory sequential design to analyze the challenges faced by children with ID and their families in Liaozhong District—a region representative of both urban-rural diversity and traditional industrial decline in Northeast China.
