Abstract: Objective To understand the basic situation of persons with intellectual disability in Henan province, and to provide relevant support to promote the realization of a well-off society. Methods According to the results of national disabled basic service condition and demand special survey, we investigated and analyzed 53,620 people who registered with intellectual disabilities. Results Intellectual disability accounted for 8.60% of the disabled, the average age was about 36.6 years old, men accounted for 61.3%, and women accounted for 38.7%. The average per capita income, education level and employment rate of the persons in Henan province were generally low. Most people enjoyed the medical insurance (94.5%) and medical insurance subsidies (59.1%). The demand for development of the people was mainly reflected in the special educational, practical technical training, medical rehabilitation, functional training and the non-barrier transformation for kitchen and toilets. Conclusion The rehabilitation medical services in Henan province remain to be improved. The demands of intellectual disabilities' multi-level development need more attention.
