This fully revised and expanded second edition brings together
findings from research and clinical practice, with comprehensive
coverage of the important aspects of physical health in persons with
intellectual disability. Professionals involved in the medical and
social care and support of persons with intellectual disability should
have a broad understanding of the essential range of issues, and
therefore this book provides a truly multi-disciplinary perspective,
complete with many tables, figures, and illustrations to underline the
key points. The reader is updated on ongoing developments in the
general population, which will become increasingly more relevant to
adults with intellectual disability. This book also acknowledges that
the impact on the person and on their carers always needs to be taken
into account, with treatment programs established with a multi-faceted
team approach in mind. This book is aimed at an international audience
of physicians and other allied health personnel concerned about the
health and welfare of adults with intellectual disability. It should
also be of interest to researchers, administrators, and senior program
personnel engaged in this field.
