Product Description:

The World Health Organization (WHO) is in the process of seeking input from professional stakeholder groups and consumers regarding the draft proposals of the 11th edition of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11). The American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AAIDD) convened a small group of distinguished inter-disciplinary expert professionals in intellectual disability to review the ICD-11 proposal regarding revisions of the condition previously known as mental retardation. This paper presents the recommendations made by the AAIDD to the WHO Secretariat regarding the name, definition, diagnostic guidelines, and classification of the condition more commonly known as intellectual disability.
