Description:
Over the past few years, adults with developmental disabilities have been affected by myriad legislative changes, attitudinal advances in human rights, and lessons learned from evidence-based practice and research in all aspects of health care, especially occupational therapy. This inspiring book for occupational therapy practitioners and students takes a client-centered approach to developmental disabilities, one aligned with the philosophy of self-determination, and provides clinicians with a working guide for practice with this population.
A new section on full participation clearly illustrates the level of community involvement that people with developmental disabilities can achieve. In addition, this book addresses emerging areas of self-employment and entrepreneurship, use of technology, and driving.
