"Hogg and Langa have assembled a gem... they have captured a range
of nuanced issues and problems facing workers in the field of
intellectual disabilities. This text is sure to become an
indispensable companion to any clinician, researcher, or provider
wanting to better understand assessment and the complex lives of
people with intellectual disabilities." Matthew P. Janicki, Ph.D.,

"A timely publication that brings together a group of highly
respected contributors from Europe, North America and Australia.
Its strength lies in its coverage of important conceptual issues,
including person-centred planning, supported by a critical analysis
of contemporary strategies and assessment instruments. The focus on
person-centred planning ensures its relevance to emerging practices
in the support of people with an intellectual disability. It will
find a place in the libraries of both practitioners and
researchers." Professor Trevor R. Parmenter, Foundation Chair of
Developmental Disability, University of Sydney
"This is a thought-provoking review of current assessment practice,
reflecting the shift towards person-centred approaches and a
concern to make assessment secure better lives for people with
intellectual disabilities." Professor Jim Mansell, Tizard Centre,
University of Kent at Canterbury
