QUALITY OF LIFE AND INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY: KNOWLEDGE APPLICATION TO OTHER SOCIAL AND EDUCATIONAL CHALLENGES (2014)
Abstract
In Quality of Life and Intellectual Disability: Knowledge Application to Other Social and Educational Challenges, editors Roy I. Brown and Rhonda M. Faragher (2014), focus on what they characterize as the emerging field of Quality of Life (QOL) research that has been developing within studies focusing on intellectual and developmental disabilities (I&DD). Brown and Faragher show that the research enhances our understanding of QOL and family quality of life (FQOL), and helps us to see that we can utilize this information in the development of policies and practices that align with the principles of QOL to enhance the lives of not only those individuals with a disability, but of people in general. They hope to provide both a reorientation of the ways in which we approach life’s challenging problems and demands, and a framework for dealing with these, with a particular focus on families with members who have disabilities, their helpers, and their service providers.
