From the reviews:
"This handbook offers a brilliant exploration of the many issues revolving around two populations, those with intellectual disabilities and those with developmental disabilities (who may also have cognitive deficits). ... Each contributor is an expert in his or her own discipline, and each essay is grounded in thorough scholarly research (documented in an extensive bibliography). ... Summing Up: Highly recommended. Graduate students, researchers, faculty, and professionals." (D. J. Winchester, CHOICE, Vol. 44 (9), May, 2007)
"Handbook of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities has a substantial goal set for it: to broaden and elaborate on the required knowledge that individuals working with persons with developmental and intellectual disorders require at this time. ... As such, this book provides a useful model to follow for clinicians, researchers, and authors in this domain in the coming years. ... it proves to be an impressive and informative addition to the clinician's, student's, and researcher's library." (Scott J. Hunter, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 53 (22), 2008)
