Fujiura, G.T. & Parish, S. (2007). Emerging policy challenges in intellectual disabilities. Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities Research Reviews, 13, 188-194. The forces shaping intellectual disability policy-making are diverse; while many of the policy issues reviewed in this issue are specific to intellectual disabilities, there are others that transcend disability-specific concerns. Our review is organized around six emerging demographic and socio-cultural trends that may directly and profoundly impact the intellectual disability field: aging, changing labor markets, immigration, families, federalism, and culture. Each of these trends is discussed in terms of their relevance and potential impact on disability policy. ? 2007 Wiley-Liss, Inc. MRDD Research Reviews 2007;13:188-194.
