Overview

While care for people with developmental disabilities has undergone revolutionary improvements, it still isn't unusual to have some continue to wonder why people with developmental disabilities should consider aggressive medical management in specific situations. Further, palliative care for people with intellectual disabilities is inherently controversial and ridden with medical, ethical, and legal complexities for which most professionals receive little training and can turn to very few resources for help. For the first time, End-of-Life Care for Children and Adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities presents a comprehensive framework under which professionals and families can make decisions that are thoughtful, ethical, and most importantly, respect the wishes of individuals with disabilities.
