Deinstitutionalization is not specifically mentioned in the UN CRPD, but the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) describes deinstitutionalization as:
(...) a process that provides for a shift in living arrangements for persons with disabilities, from institutional and other segregating settings to a system enabling social participation where services are provided in the community according to individual will and preference.
A recent ANED report on the topic found, that “although there are some positive examples of approaches designed to expand and deepen choice and control, such as user-led personal assistance schemes, individualized budgets and peer support, these are often small scale and experimental. Peer support and self-advocacy seem generally peripheral to the strategies of many EU member States.” (Source: ANED: The right to live independently).
