Synopsis
This book contains the most widely used definition of mental retardation in the U.S. and is based on 10 years of use and research by a panel of 11 international experts.
What is mental retardation? How is it diagnosed? Can IQ scores alone determine if a person has mental retardation? What is the cut-off IQ score when deciding whether a person has mental retardation? Since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled to ban execution of persons with mental retardation on June 22, 2002, states and courts grapple with these tough questions and more.
The 10th edition lays out a complete system of diagnosing mental retardation, easily understood by practitioners, public officials, and even families. Further, the book also provides an in-depth analysis on how supports can help better the lives of persons with mental retardation.
Mental Retardation also comes with a workbook containing key terms, examples, a case study, and ready-to-use forms that make it easier for practitioners to understand and implement the definition.

'Understanding the new definition and system of supports is essential to anyone delivering services today or planning for the future.' ---Ohio Developmental Disabilities Council
'This book will be a useful resource for both professionals and lay persons who are interested in, work with, or are advocates for individuals with either a diagnosis of mental retardation or individuals who score within normal levels on IQ tests, but have significant limitations in adaptive skills.' ---Psychological Record
