El libro se inicia con una visión actualizada de la comprensión de la discapacidad intelectual y de las prácticas de evaluación e intervención interdisciplinar de acuerdo con las propuestas de la AAIDD (Asociación Americana de Discapacidades Intelectuales y del Desarrollo). Posteriormente se centra en analizar las habilidades de adaptación y las habilidades sociales, desarrollando una aproximación diferenciadora de ambos conceptos que permita aclarar la planificación de la evaluación e intervención con las personas con discapacidad intelectual. Se subraya la importancia de organizar los apoyos desde una perspectiva de evaluación de resultados personales en calidad de vida. En los...
The employment rate for persons with disabilities in Spain continues to indicate a disadvantageous situation. It is necessary to continue encouraging measures for the promotion of employment of this group, through the obligation to comply with the quota of job reservations and the promotion of employment alternatives (protected, supported, ordinary, self-employment) aligned with the RRP and international agendas, related to digitalisation (e.g. Digital Europe Programme, Digital Skills and Jobs, European skills agenda) and the green economy (e.g. Green Deal).
Los tiempos han cambiado, afortunadamente, en lo que se refiere a las expectativas vitales y vida satisfactoria de las personas con discapacidad. Las últimas décadas están suponiendo un avance radical y muy positivo en el funcionamiento individual y la inclusión social, logrando un escenario social muy diferente al del siglo XX. Pero, estos avances se han producido y se están produciendo gracias al esfuerzo y superación personal de muchos líderes que han ido mostrando cómo “ir más allá” de lo previsto en su educación, empleo, vida de pareja y otros aspectos vitales. Hoy podemos decir que la palabra la tienen principalmente los actores de ese esfuerzo personal, sin olvidar que ...

The most comprehensive and current volume on the subject, the Handbook contains a unique and practical model of quality of life that human service professionals can use to develop services and evaluate outcomes of programs. Two international experts simplify quality of life into 8 factors that can be applied to programs in education; physical health; mental and behavioral health; mental retardation and intellectual disabilities; aging; and family services. The Handbook is based on a review of international literature from 1985-2000 and contains over 50 pages of references.

This collection of original essays, from both established scholars and newcomers, takes up a recent debate in philosophy, sociology, and disability studies on whether disability is intrinsically a harm that lowers a person's quality of life. While this is a new question in disability scholarship, it also touches on one of the oldest philosophical questions: what is the good human life? Historically, philosophers have not been interested in the topic of disability, and when they are it is usually only in relation to questions such as euthanasia, abortion, or the moral status of disabled people. Consequently disability has been either ignored by moral and political philosophers or simply equated with a bad human life, a life not worth living. This collection takes up the challenge that disability poses to basic questions of political philosophy and bioethics, among others, by focusing on fundamental issues and practical implications of the relationship between disability and the good human life.
Does what we are capable of doing define us as human beings? If this basic anthropological assumption is true, where can that leave those with intellectual disabilities, unable to accomplish the things that we propose give us our very humanity? Hans Reinders here makes an unusual claim about unusual people: those who are profoundly disabled are people just like the rest of us. He acknowledges that, at first glance, this is not an unusual claim given the steps taken within the last few decades to bring the rights of those with disabilities into line with the rights of the mainstream. But, he argues, that cannot be the end of the matter, because the disabled are human beings before they are ci...
