Inhaltsangabe

Written by psychologists engaged in research, teaching, and practice, Understanding Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities encourages a nuanced, contextually informed understanding of the development of individuals with developmental disabilities. This accessible book contextualises developmental disability across the lifespan and within social systems. It will help you understand the complex interaction between genetics, environments, and experiences, in relation to specific conditions such as ADHD, autism, foetal alcohol spectrum conditions, and Down syndrome. It also introduces you to the wide range of real-world applications of developmental disabilities research and to some of the current ethical issues around genetic screening and behavioural intervention.

Key learning features include:

  • Learning objectives
  • Focus boxes that deliver additional helpful context
  • Chapter summaries
  • Reflective exercises and questions, to test what you’ve learned
  • Recommended videos
This book is ideal for students studying atypical development, developmental neuropsychology, and related subjects.
