New AAIDD Book Offers Latest Thinking, Best Practices, and Blueprint on Quality of Life
07/06/2007
The quality of life movement began in the 1980s, and over the years, it has changed our approach to enhancing the well-being of people with intellectual disabilities and reducing their exclusion from mainstream society. But along with these changes has come the need for a new structure—and for new quality assessment and improvement processes—in order to develop, apply, measure, and improve the quality of life model in human services. A new book from the American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AAIDD) explains quality of life applications to service providers and decision makers in human services, and demonstrates how to reframe organizations, services, and mindsets in going forward.
