AAMR defines mental retardation -- for the courts, the schools, federal and state governments, and programs across the U.S. and around the world. This latest definition presents a new paradigm which emphasizes abilities, environments, supports, and empowerment -- rather than level of disability. It focuses on how the whole person functions within the context of their environment and classifies the intensities of needed supports -- rather than an IQ- derived level of functioning. Mental Retardation is an indispensable resource for anyone interested in mental retardation. Understanding the new definition is essential for anyone delivering services today or planning for the future -- service providers, researchers, policy-makers, administrators, and students.

This practical newguide on the 2002 AAIDD definition manual tells clinicians, educators, policymakers, and program managers how to implement the various components of the AAIDD definition system in their specific job settings. The authors discuss the contemporary relevance of the supports-based AAIDD definition in the context of issues ranging from special education practices and IDEA mandates, to diagnosing individuals with a higher IQ and conducting retroactive diagnoses such as in the Atkins v. Virginia case. Policymakers and program managers will benefit from discussions on how the supports paradigmcan improve quality outcomes of programs, and how the 2002 system incorporates the emerging consensus in the field to move towards a supports-based approach.Also available:Adaptive Behavior and Its Measurement: Implications for the Field of Mental Retardation - ISBN 0940898640Workbook: Mental Retardation (10th Edition) - ISBN 0940898829 Since 1876, the American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AAIDD) has been providing worldwide leadership in the field of disabilities.
