Understanding Intellectual Disability: A Guide for Professionals
and Parents supports professionals and parents in understanding
critical concepts, correct assessment procedures, delicate and
science-infused communication practices and treatment methods
concerning children with intellectual disabilities. From a
professional perspective, this book relies on developmental
neuropsychology and psychiatry to describe relevant measures and
qualitative observations when making a diagnosis and explores the
importance of involving parents in the reconstruction of a child's
developmental history. From a parent's perspective, the book shows
how enriched environments can empower children's learning
processes, and how working with patients, families, and
organizations providing care and treatment services can be
effectively integrated with attachment theory. Throughout seven
chapters, the book offers an exploration of diagnostic procedures,
new insights on the concept of intelligence and the role of
communication and secure attachment in the mind's construction.
With expertise from noteworthy scholars in the field, the reader is
given an overview of in-depth assessment and intervention practices
illustrated by several case studies and examples, as well as a
lifespan perspective from a Human Rights Model of disability.
Understanding Intellectual Disability is an accessible guide
offering an up-to-date vision of intellectual disability and is
essential for psychologists, health care professionals, special
educators, students in clinical psychology, and parents. Things are
connected through invisible bonds: you cannot pluck a flower
without unsettling a star. Galileo Galilei
