This book examines theoretical considerations in the study of
decision making as well as practical applications in social
interpersonal domains for adolescents and adults with intellectual
and developmental disabilities (IDD). It provides a history of the
study of decision making in individuals with IDD and examines
emerging views on decision making from a positive psychology
perspective. The book explores the role of decision making in
self-determination as well as offers global perspectives on the
rights and responsibilities of individuals with IDD to engage in
independent decision making. It outlines a framework for the study
of decision making in individuals with IDD, reviews research that
addresses the role of culturally diverse influences on individual
decision making, and examines likely consequences of the
etiological bases of disability on decision-making profiles. Key
areas of coverage include: * Critical role of basic processes of
cognition, motivation and self-beliefs, affect and emotion, and
various styles of decision making. * Applications of
decision-making skills within family and community contexts, in
personal and social relationships, during transition to adulthood
and more independent lifestyles, and in successful community
living. * Self-protective decision making by individuals in
situations of abuse as well as in resisting peer victimization and
bullying. * Decision-making parameters for enabling maximum
participation in self-decision making, through shared and supported
decision making in contexts such as health care, aging, and
end-of-life decisions. * Research-based interventions to improve
effective decision making in individuals with IDD. Decision Making
by Individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities is
a must-have reference for researchers, professors, and graduate
students as well as clinicians and other professionals in the
fields of developmental and positive psychology, rehabilitation,
social work, special education, occupational, speech and language
therapy, public health, and healthcare policy.
