Community Living and Participation for People With Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities explores how to create the ideal conditions to facilitate community living and participation for people with IDD.

The book addresses the complex and evolving concepts of "community," including living arrangements, work, other daytime activities, financial resources, relationships, personal interests, health and well-being, faith, opportunities for learning and personal growth, self-determination and informed decision making, and rights and responsibilities as a citizen. 

Specific topics include using person-centered and positive support practices, housing, employment, social inclusion and relationships, self-determination and self-advocacy, supported decision making, health and wellness, planning for healthy and engaged aging, practices that promote quality outcomes, and the direct support workforce.

Each chapter includes advance organizers, discussion questions, and a resource list. The book is ideal as an ancillary textbook at the undergraduate or graduate levels and as a staff development tool.

Lives and Legacies of People with Intellectual Disability provides a new way to view the personal and cultural contributions of people with ID.

This book is intended to be instrumental in moving toward a new understanding of community. A wide range of relevant literature is reviewed on quality of life, the social context of ID, and supports to ensure that people with ID participate in the meaningful activities of everyday life. Most importantly, individual stories are used to illustrate the meaningful legacies of people with ID.

The Diagnostic Adaptive Behavior Scale® (DABS®) User's Manual provides essential preparation for using the DABS.

Adaptive behavior consists of conceptual, social, and practical adaptive skills.

Designed for use with children between the ages of 4 - 21, the norm-referenced DABS interview provides a precise assessment of adaptive behavior for the purpose of determining whether the person meets one of the criteria necessary for a diagnosis of intellectual disability (ID). 

The DABS has a number of unique features that support its precision, accuracy, validity, and credibility in making a diagnosis of ID. The DABS:

• Measures some aspects of adaptive behavior that are not currently measured by other standardized instruments, including naiveté, gullibility, and technology-based skills.
• Uses item response theory (IRT) to reliably measure individual performance levels across the continuum of adaptive skills and ages.
• Provides precise information to assist users in determining significant limitations in adaptive behavior.

The User’s Manual includes a sample copy of the interview form. Bundle packs of interview forms are also available in the bookstore.

Because the DABS relies on IRT, it cannot be scored by hand, and requires a specially developed computer program for scoring. A complimentary, single-use voucher code for the scoring platform is included with the purchase of each manual.

AAIDD’s online scoring platform for the DABS provides reports for each assessment scored, there is a nominal fee for each use of the scoring platform ($1 per score). The scoring platform is accessed through single-use code(s) emailed to users immediately following their purchase in the bookstore.

The Diagnostic Adaptive Behavior Scale ® (DABS®) is an instrument for assessing the adaptive behavior of people between the ages of 4 and 21 for the purpose of determining whether the person meets the second criterion for a diagnosis of intellectual disability (ID). The second criterion is a significant limitation in adaptive behavior as expressed in conceptual, social, and practical adaptive skills. The DABS is a norm-referenced instrument that uses data obtained from an interview with a respondent who knows the person very well.

The DABS has a number of unique features that support its precision, accuracy, validity, and credibility in making a diagnosis of ID, including:

• Measures some aspects of adaptive behavior that are not currently measured by other standardized instruments, including naiveté, gullibility, and technology-based skills.
• Designed using item response theory (IRT) and reliably measure individual performance levels across the continuum of adaptive skills and ages.
• Provides precise information to assist users in determining significant limitations in adaptive behavior.
