The Death Penalty and Intellectual Disability is the authoritative resource on the application of diagnostic information concerning intellectual disability (ID) in death penalty cases, and will be useful to all professionals involved in ID determination processes within the criminal justice system.

In a landmark Atkins v. Virginia decision in 2002, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that executing someone with ID is a violation of the Eighth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which prohibits cruel and unusual punishment. In its 2014 Hall v. Florida decision, the Court ruled that, while states have the right to establish their own rules for handling Atkins cases, they cannot ignore scientific and medical consensus on the diagnosis of ID, which considers both IQ test scores and measures of adaptive behavior.

The publication addresses the following critical topics:

• The definition of ID, diagnostic criteria, and analyses of Atkins cases
• Assessment considerations
• Intellectual functioning, including IQ testing and the Flynn effect
• Adaptive behavior

Also discussed are related topics including cultural and linguistic considerations,  competence to waive Miranda rights and to stand trial, retrospective diagnosis, malingering, comorbid disorders, educational records, and professional issues.

Trauma-Informed Behavioral Interventions: What Works and What Doesn't outlines the ways in which some individuals with IDD may have been harmed by a failure to consider problem behaviors as trauma responses that cannot be modified through the application of consequences.

With numerous case studies, the author describes exploring past traumas and successful strategies for stabilization, prevention, and intervention. This book provides insights on  how to support people who have experienced large and small-scale traumas. She provides examples of "mental health plans" and illustrates how the plans should be written to ensure optimal implementation.

This book gives the professionals and paraprofessionals a trauma-informed paradigm within which to support people with IDD and to establish the critical elements needed for their recovery from trauma.

Clinical Judgment is designed to assist clinicians in making high quality, valid, and precise decisions or recommendations in situations involving diagnosis, classification, and planning supports.

Today, clinicians are being asked to formulate high-stakes decisions and recommendations that frequently require a level of competency beyond their formal training regarding equity, inclusion, self-determination, and self-advocacy. In the second edition, the authors synthesized evaluative input from colleagues and literature-based critiques and extended their analysis and evaluation of the role of clinical judgment in decision making.
