Parents with Intellectual Disabilities – Past, Present and Futures

Autor GL Llewellyn
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 apr 2010
This is the first international, cross-disciplinary book to explore and understand the lives of parents with intellectual disabilities, their children, and the systems and services they encounter. Contributors champion the rights of parents with intellectual disabilities, advocating their full participation in the society and culture in which they live, in spite of stigmatizing attitudes and exclusionary practices.

This authoritative book examines the very latest research and scholarship on the subject. Throughout the text, theory and research are linked to practice. The contributors provide a clear set of principles outlining how to work with parents with intellectual disabilities in ways that recognize family strengths and promote child and family well-being. Chapters are written by experts currently engaged either in academic study of the topic or as researcher-practitioners in the field of intellectual disabilities. Each one provides a brief overview of the development of ideas and literature pertinent to the chapter's topic and concludes with principles drawn from the research to inform practice.

Written to reflect the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (United Nations, 2006), the book provides a crucial reference for students, practitioners and professionals engaged in this area.
