It provides a foundational and comprehensive examination of disability that encompasses the intellectual, psychiatric, physical, and social arenas. The second edition is updated to underscore its versatility as an introductory text about the developmental tasks of people with disabilities for all the helping professions. Reorganized to illuminate the book's interdisciplinary focus, it includes new demographics, new case studies and first-person accounts, discussions on cultural aspects of disabilities, family concerns, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe text delivers practice guidelines for each of the conventional life stages and describes the developmental tasks of individuals with disabilities (IWDs). It emphasizes the positive trend in the perception of IWDs as normal and underscores the fact that IWDs have the same motivations, emotions, and goals as those without disabilities. Learning activities, suggestions for writing exercises, and websites for further study reinforce learning, as do graphs and charts illustrating trends and demographics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNEW TO THE SECOND EDITION: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cli\u003eIntroductory chapter on understanding disability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDemographic updates throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew case studies and first-person accounts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpanded discussions about cultural considerations, intersectionality, and family considerations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpdated Instructor's Manual and an Instructor's Test Bank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKEY FEATURES: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cli\u003eExamines the conventional stages of human growth and development from the perspective of individuals with disabilities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrates disability concepts with developmental theories and stages of the lifespan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddresses common ethical issues to illuminate the real-world implications faced by individuals with disabilities and their families\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes learning activities, suggestions for writing exercises, and websites for further study\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePurchase includes digital access for use on most mobile devices or computers.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSmart, Julie:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJulie Smart, PhD, \u003c\/strong\u003e was on the faculty at Utah State for 24 years, teaching in a graduate Rehabilitation Counseling program.
