416 Aging And Developmental Disabilities (2)
This course explores the experience of aging with a developmental disability or
mental retardation within the context of normative aging. Among the
comparisons made between older persons with and without developmental
disabilities are their demographic characteristics, physical and cognitive
functioning, role transitions and losses, identities and self-concepts, and
family and caregiving issues. Policies, programs, and emerging concepts of
best practices are considered within the context of quality of life, ethical,
and community inclusion issues. Prerequisites: None. Offered: Summer.
