Parents with Intellectual Disabilities cover

The first international, cross-disciplinary book to explore and understand the lives of parents with intellectual disabilities, their children, and the systems and services they encounter

  • Presents a unique, pan-disciplinary overview of this growing field of study
  • Offers a human rights approach to disability and family life
  • Informed by the newly adopted UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (2006)
  • Provides comprehensive research-based knowledge from leading figures in the field of intellectual disability

"This excellent collection of essays begins from the human rights approach epitomised by the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities ... This collection challenges policy-makers to do more and better, and provides much of the evidence to underpin such improvements." (Disability, Pregnancy & Parenthood International, 1 September 2011)

"Parents With Intellectual Disabilities: Past, Present and Futures is thought provoking worth reading for those working with families with intellectual disabilities." (PsycCRITIQUES, February 2011)
