Social Work Practice in Autism and Developmental Disabilities

This volume provides a range of perspectives,
practices, and ideas relative to social work's engagements with individuals
living with autism, intellectual disability and developmental disabilities.
Contributors in this peer-reviewed volume include social work practitioners,
academic and community-based researchers, educators, activists, and
self-advocates. Reflecting different ways of theorizing, speaking about, and
working with people with autism, intellectual disability and developmental
disabilities, it explores both tensions and possibilities for social work
practice, research, education, advocacy and policy development that better meet
their needs and desires for their lives.
