This book is designed as a college-level textbook introducing
readers to all aspects of intellectual disability in children, from
birth to the end of schooling, with an educational focus. The book
will be of interest to persons training as special education
teachers or who are training as regular teachers with a focus on
special education. It will also be relevant reading for parents of
children with intellectual disability, for practicing teachers, and
for other professionals working with such children (psychologists,
social workers, nurses, therapists). The field of special education
and intellectual disability practice has been strongly influenced
by legislation in the United States. The United States is also the
source of most research in the disability field. For this reason,
there is an emphasis in this book on research and practice in the
United States. However, there is also coverage of research and
practice in Australia (where the author is located); the UK, where
there are several leading research groups; and other parts of the
world. Instructors may wish to use the book as the basis of a
one-semester unit on the education of students with intellectual
disability. Each chapter could be treated over 1 or 2 weeks,
depending on the focus of the group and the particular interest of
the instructor. A group with an early childhood focus would spend
more time on early intervention. A secondary-focused group might
spend more time on postschool options. Each major chapter section
has questions for discussion or reflection, and there are also
discussion questions about the case studies provided in each
chapter. This book provides readers with up-to-date information on
the latest research on the identification and definition of
intellectual disability, assessment of intellectual disability and
adaptive behavior, causes of intellectual disability, educational
options and alternatives, early intervention for young children
with intellectual disability, and practical approaches to teaching
and intervention. In the final chapter, the author reviews options
for students at the end of their formal schooling.
