The book explores national and international conventions, societal attitudes, sheltered workshops, the right of intellectually impaired persons for self-responsibility, and its limitations. It also examines the place of mentally impaired persons in the public image and attempts to capture the forces that drive the changes in our conceptual frameworks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe US Tuskegee study, which withheld antibiotics from black men with syphilis, was not ended by scientific criticism alone but by the courage of a man, press reports, and a shifted social perception. The non-hiding of handicapped children is not solely the result of government orders; it stems from a multitude of non-resolvable dilemmas and tensions between supporting, understanding, and patronizing a complex situation with numerous potential future avenues.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book emphasizes the importance of empathy, understanding, and respect for individuals with intellectual disabilities, recognizing their unique perspectives and contributions to society. It challenges societal norms and stereotypes and advocates for inclusive policies and practices that promote the full participation and inclusion of intellectually impaired persons in all aspects of life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntellectually Impaired People: The Ongoing Battle is a valuable resource for educators, policymakers, healthcare professionals, and individuals interested in understanding and advocating for the rights of intellectually impaired persons. It provides a comprehensive examination of the challenges and opportunities faced by this population and offers insights into the ongoing efforts to create a more inclusive and equitable society for all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 596g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 190 x 234 x 16 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780443188138\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Klaus, Switzerland) Rose","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44246271951098,"sku":"9780443188138","price":102.64,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1684493147349_book.jpg?v=1684618910","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/intellectually-impaired-people-the-ongoing-battle-9780443188138","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
