| Abstract | "This volume provides a range of perspectives, practices, and ideas relative to social work's engagements with individuals living with autism, intellectual disability and developmental disabilities. Contributors in this peer-reviewed volume include social work practitioners, academic and community-based researchers, educators, activists, and self-advocates. Reflecting different ways of theorizing, speaking about, and working with people with autism, intellectual disability and developmental disabilities, it explores both tensions and possibilities for social work practice, research, education, advocacy and policy development that better meet their needs and desires for their lives."-- Provided by publisher. |
