Abstract
The question of education for children with severe to profound intellectual disability (ID) is an important one if we wish to consider the scope of citizenship issues for disabled people in the Global South. In this chapter, we present a case study of activism around questions of access to education for this excluded group. The work took place in South Africa with its complex political history but with a contemporary policy commitment to inclusion. We note the challenges and the successes and failures of this engagement, and we suggest that in this context, as elsewhere, the role of civil society organisations in upholding the rights of disabled people should not diminish over time.
