Intellectual Disability Education

The book includes seven chapters followed by recommendations for intellectual disability teachers, list of references and abbreviations, summary, information about the author and name and subject index.The first chapter is devoted to the definition of the work of intellectual disability teachers, describes their pre-professional training as well as their practical contribution in various sectors.Intellectual disability teachers could well function in kindergartens where they would help with early diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders.The second chapter focuses on developmental intellectual disorders.Reference is made to changes in terminology in the ICD-11 corresponding to the DSM-V, learners with impaired cognitive performance and children who require educational support due to social disadvantage.The text analyses the support of learners with intellectual disorder in an inclusive school with references to the methodology for setting up support measures in schools.I believe that a useful part of this chapter is the comparison of the different arrangement and terminology in the ICD-11 and the original ICD-10.
