Community Living and Participation for People With Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities explores how to create the ideal conditions to facilitate community living and participation for people with IDD.

The book addresses the complex and evolving concepts of "community," including living arrangements, work, other daytime activities, financial resources, relationships, personal interests, health and well-being, faith, opportunities for learning and personal growth, self-determination and informed decision making, and rights and responsibilities as a citizen. 

Specific topics include using person-centered and positive support practices, housing, employment, social inclusion and relationships, self-determination and self-advocacy, supported decision making, health and wellness, planning for healthy and engaged aging, practices that promote quality outcomes, and the direct support workforce.

Each chapter includes advance organizers, discussion questions, and a resource list. The book is ideal as an ancillary textbook at the undergraduate or graduate levels and as a staff development tool.

A Systematic Approach to Personal Support Plans is a concise practical guide for individual and organizational approaches to developing, implementing, and evaluating personal support plans informed by evidence.

The components and steps in the systematic approach are described in detail. Readers will be guided in  understanding the person; understanding the person’s support needs; developing, implementing, and reviewing the plan; and evaluating the outcomes.

The last section of the book presents four examples from organizations that incorporated one or more of the components and implementation steps in their programs.

Teaching Authentic Cooking Skills to Adults With Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities: Active Engagement is a unique instructional tool used to address two critical issues in working with adults with IDD: promoting healthy eating habits and teaching real-life skills that will enhance independence and self-determination.

The book features good nutritional principles and evidence-based instructional practices, incorporating direct instruction, individualized choice-making, and experiential learning. This is not a cookbook, although there are a number of adaptive recipes embedded as examples throughout.

This book provides detailed information on the Active Engagement program and how to implement it in teaching real cooking skills. Topics include:

    • Cooking as nutritional intervention
    • Teaching framework for cooking skills
    • Implementing cooking instruction around American consumption patterns
    • Teaching basic skills with adaptive tools
    • New approaches to recipes
    • Universal and specialized appliances
    • Supporting cooking skills with food skills

The SIS-A^® Annual Review Protocol is a questionnaire created to help planning teams identify people whose intensity of support needs might have changed in important ways since their last SIS-A assessment.

The protocol focuses on possible significant changes due to important life events and/or health or behavioral concerns, captured in 21 SIS-A items particularly critical to understanding the support need domains  of the SIS-A.

At the conclusion of the protocol, a determination is made as to whether the person’s support needs have or have not changed in important ways, and, if so, the planning team includes a description of the next steps required.

Person-Centered Planning with the SIS-A: A Guide for Planning Teams is designed for use following the administration of the Support Intensity Scale-Adult Version® (SIS-A®) to assist planning team members in using the results to develop person-centered  support plans.

The guide does not require the participation of those involved in administering the SIS-A. The intent is to assist teams in pursuing the type of personalized supports planning that meaningfully enhances a person’s quality of life.

A structured 18-step process that results in a “24-7” support plan for a typical week is outlined. Four of the 18 steps require information from each individual planning team member, and multiple copies of forms for each of those steps are included with the guide.

Cross-Cultural Quality of Life: Enhancing the Lives of People With Intellectual Disability, 2nd Ed. reflects many of the changes in the field of IDD in the first 15 years of this century, including the concept of quality-of-life (QOL).

This edition represents the work of 34 contributors from 14 countries who capture the significant role the concept of QOL has played in empowerment, self-advocacy, family support, supports planning, outcomes evaluation, continuous quality improvement, organizational transformation, and systems-level change. QOL is examined at various levels of implementation, from the individual through the macrosystem level.

The sample of cultures in this edition represents a somewhat different sample than that found in the first edition and is amplified by an extensive reference list that presents a broader, more complete view of international QOL work, as well as the voices of self-advocates.
