Age of onset is reexamined in light of the developments of the last 10 years.

Clinical Judgment is designed to assist clinicians in making high quality, valid, and precise decisions or recommendations in situations involving diagnosis, classification, and planning supports.

Today, clinicians are being asked to formulate high-stakes decisions and recommendations that frequently require a level of competency beyond their formal training regarding equity, inclusion, self-determination, and self-advocacy. In the second edition, the authors synthesized evaluative input from colleagues and literature-based critiques and extended their analysis and evaluation of the role of clinical judgment in decision making.

Cross-Cultural Quality of Life: Enhancing the Lives of People With Intellectual Disability, 2nd Ed. reflects many of the changes in the field of IDD in the first 15 years of this century, including the concept of quality-of-life (QOL).

This edition represents the work of 34 contributors from 14 countries who capture the significant role the concept of QOL has played in empowerment, self-advocacy, family support, supports planning, outcomes evaluation, continuous quality improvement, organizational transformation, and systems-level change. QOL is examined at various levels of implementation, from the individual through the macrosystem level.

The sample of cultures in this edition represents a somewhat different sample than that found in the first edition and is amplified by an extensive reference list that presents a broader, more complete view of international QOL work, as well as the voices of self-advocates.

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.

Critical Issues in Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities: Contemporary Research, Practice, and Policy provides a concise review of what we know in ten key areas  and what that knowledge means for future developments in public policy, research, and practice in the field of IDD.

A History and Sociology of the Willowbrook State School introduces the reader to the Willowbrook State School, a place that many feel is the “ground zero” of the disabilities civil rights movement.  

The book explores the period before Geraldo Rivera’s sensational television exposé in 1972. The early history of institutions in New York State, New York City, and Staten Island provides a backdrop demonstrate the “medicalization” of disability, which led to the creation of large-scale institutions.

The authors describe in great detail what life was like for the people who lived and worked at Willowbrook and how the institution evolved as it did. First-hand observations and testimonials on life at Willowbrook provide a window into the interpersonal dynamics and interactions of life and work in institutional settings.
