Abstract

Developmental risk refers to conditions, characteristics, experiences, or situations with potentially deleterious effects that lead to outcomes later in life that do not meet societal expectations. While risk is typically framed as the statistical probability of a problematic outcome in relation to the general population, the converse notion of well-being is considered in relation to the level of functioning at a given developmental stage. The contributors to this volume provide insight into developmental well-being by examining the ways that culture and context affect outcomes associated with various types of risk, such as those related to oppression, academic performance, family background, life history, physical health, and psychiatric conditions. Even though certain outcomes may seem inevitable in cases involving harmful environments, diseases, and disorders, they are virtually all influenced by complex interactions among individuals, their families, communities, and societies.

Abstract

Issues in the Developmental Approach to Mental Retardation is one of the first books exclusively devoted to applying the theories, findings and approaches used in work with nonretarded children to several types of retarded individuals. The editors and contributors define the developmental approach and explore theoretical issues as they relate to retarded populations. Problems involving similar sequences of development, cross-domain relations, the environment, and motivation are all discussed, as is the importance of separating the various etiological groups for research and intervention purposes. The contributors also examine the nature of development in specific etiological groups; types of retardation that are addressed include: cultural-familial retardation, Down syndrome, fragile X syndrome, autism, and children with sensory and motor handicaps. This significant volume demonstrates how data from nonretarded development can inform work with retarded populations and how findings from children with mental retardation enrich developmental theory.

Abstract

The Oxford Handbook of Down Syndrome and Development comprises cutting-edge and provocative integrative reviews of essential theory and research about persons with Down syndrome at various stages of the lifespan. The volume opens with a brief section on historic and contemporary scientific approaches to understanding the development of persons with Down syndrome, with subsequent sections on social development and family relations, cognition and neuropsychology, and comorbid conditions. Together these chapters provide extensive background that leads to a comprehensive understanding of the development and well-being of persons with Down syndrome across many different aspects of everyday living. The final section contains innovative and forward-looking chapters on interventions and directions for future research. The contributors to all these chapters are leading scholars in the study of persons with Down syndrome and other neurodevelopmental conditions. However, the final word of the volume is left to those with lived experience—persons with Down syndrome and their family members who share and reflect on their life stories. This handbook is essential reading for all those interested in the development of persons with Down syndrome.

Abstract

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.
