| Abstract: | As rates of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) continue to rise and the needs of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) become increasingly complex, a comprehensive, client-centered approach to service delivery is imperative. Rather than a disability-focused text, this new book seeks to promote principles of best practices and self-determination through an occupational therapy lens. Broad in scope, Adults With Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities focuses on facilitating quality of life and intervening in effective, evidence-based ways with people with IDD, including those with ASD, adolescents transitioning to adulthood, aging adults, and people with dual diagnoses. ... Emphasizing occupation in promoting health and quality of life, this new publication addresses the complex needs and issues of this important population, including facilitating quality of life, considerations with specialty populations, and innovative approaches to intervention. |
