Reviews

James Patton, Department of Special Education, The University of Texas at Austin - September 26, 2016
“The book discusses not only fundamental information about intellectual and other developmental disabilities but also critical topics that are often shrouded in misunderstanding such as cultural/linguistic differences, mental health, and sexuality issues.”
Anthony Antosh, Rhode Island College - September 23, 2016
“A very comprehensive text and a thorough examination of the multiple factors that explain and influence the lives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The text summarizes the history, the science, and the systems that have been part of the developmental disability movement. It explains the changing paradigms that have evolved from thinking about disability as a stereotype into our current understanding of person-centeredness, individual lifestyles and self-advocacy. This text will benefit both researchers and practitioners and will increase their efficacy to design and implement supports that assist individuals to lead lives of their choosing.”
Margaret Nygren, Executive Director and CEO of American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AAIDD) - September 22, 2016
“In a rapidly changing field, this exceptional work identifies relevant historical and cutting-edge information regarding intellectual and developmental disabilities, and makes the material accessible to a broad audience. Readers will appreciate the presentation of core and practical information along with the exploration of the many contexts that influence the lives of people with disabilities.”
Trevor Parmenter, Professor Emeritus, Sydney Medical School, University of Sydney, Past President (1996-2000) of the International Association for the Scientific Study of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities - September 21, 2016
“This outstanding book, which provides one of the most contemporary and authoritative life-span perspectives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, will be an invaluable resource for the full range of people, including families, who support this population. Despite the rigorous evidence-based approach by highly respected contributors, this book provides a very readable exposition of the most critical issues affecting this small but significant population in our community. The editors are to be congratulated for their expertise in distilling a range of compelling issues which will inform all who aspire to improve the lives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities world-wide.”
Susan Palmer, Research Professor, University of Kansas - September 19, 2016
“This second edition text has revised, updated, and new chapters that provide a comprehensive understanding of the issues, realities, current research, and best practices that affect the lives of people with special needs. Some authors are the same, others have been added to keep this volume as current as possible and provide a multidisciplinary perspective, within rapidly changing research and practice”
Erik Carter, Department of Special Education, Vanderbilt University - September 19, 2016
“This compelling resource is striking in both its breadth and depth, bringing together for readers the very best of what we know in our field. The authors weave history, research, policy, practice, and values into a thoughtful and comprehensive text.”
