National Goals And Research for People With Intellectual And Developmental Disabilities

National Goals is America's first effort to assess the status of the nation with regards to its fulfillment of goals for persons with intellectual disabilities.

Based on a federally sponsored conference in Washington, DC, this groundbreaking book describes current knowledge in critical areas that touch lives of persons with intellectual disabilities. The state of the knowledge contained in the book in areas such as education, positive behavior support, health supports, biomedical research, technology, and aging makes it an indispensable resource to anyone delivering quality care and services to citizens with intellectual disabilities.
