| Annotation | This volume on developmental disability and ageing explores research findings and practice implications regarding normative and disability-related ageing experiences and issues; effectiveness of specific interventions targeted toward ageing adults with developmental disabilities and their caregivers; and implications for practice and future research in this area. The main focus is on people with intellectual disabilities, alone or in combination with other impairments. In the US, there were between 3,200,000 and 4,500,000 individuals with developmental disabilities in 1999, comprising between 1.2 and 1.65 percent of the population. There are an estimated 526,000 people over age 60 with learning disabilities, and this is predicted to double by the year 2030. Finally, the volume provides information resources on ageing and developmental disabilities policy, legislation and related areas, with many resources located on the World Wide Web. (KJ/RH). |
