About this title

Synopsis

We know considerably more about persons with intellectual disability than we did even a decade ago. Seeking to improve and increase upon this knowledge, The Oxford Handbook of Intellectual Disability and Development provides a map to continue sophisticated and precise research, to inspire professionals involved with intellectual disability, and to better the lives of persons affected by it.
