Product Description:

Journal Article in Aging and Developmental Disability: Current Research, Programming, and Practice ImplicationsThe Haworth Press, 59-73. SUMMARY. This paper reviews the literature on later-life planning interventions that aim to support adults with intellectual disabilities and their families in planning and advocacy. While most of these interventions include both the person with a disability and the families at least to some degree, they differ in terms of the target group that is the primary focus. Hence, this review first examines family-focused strategies and secondly strategies focused on the person with disabilities. Thirdly, the paper discusses implications for further practice and research on promoting planning for the future of adults with intellectual disabilities. (author)
