The . self-advocacy movement . in the US is a human rights movement of and by people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).. The present study explored how adults with intellectual/developmental disabilities, who self-identify as self-advocates, understand and experience sexual self-advocacy. This study comes out of an awareness of the lack of evidence-based research and general knowledge about the core barriers and facilitators of effective policies, services and practices. In turn, this perpetuates ignorance and stigma about the sexuality of people with disabilities. Despite a strong disability rights tradition in the US, the sexual rights of people with I/DD is rarely debated, discussed or researched. .
