About this title

Synopsis

What happens when individuals with mild cognitive limitations are expected to manage in adulthood with few or no specialized supports? Revisiting the report published more than 25 years ago by the President's Committee on Mental Retardation, this important book examines the challenges this population faces in every aspect of life--from housing and employment to emotional well-being--and underscores the importance of service delivery. Providers will receive specific recommendations for financial, medical, and emotional supports to help individuals with mild mental retardation make the transition to adulthood and live independently. For those who serve this often over-looked group, this book is both a wake-up call and an essential guide.
