This book provides a broad overview of quality health care for
people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). It
focuses on providing the reader a practical approach to dealing
with the health and well-being of people with IDD in general
terms as well as in dealing with specific conditions. In addition,
it offers the reader a perspective from many different points of
view in the health care delivery system as well as in different
parts of the world. This is the 3rd , and much expanded edition, of
a text that was first published in 1989 (Lea and Fibiger). The
second edition was published in 2006 (Paul Brookes) and has
been used as a formal required text in training programs for
physicians, nurses and nurse practitioners as well as by
administrators who are responsible for programs serving people with
IDD. This book is considered the “Bible” in the field of health
care for people with IDD since 1989 when the first edition came
out.
