First published in 1985. The field of mental handicap is a broad one encompassing the interests of many professional groups. As a result, there is a need periodically to present wide-ranging reviews of advances in the field. This is the central aim of this volume. Two chapters focus on the cognitive domain, and are especially pertinent in view of the recent release of the new Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children which uses Das’s theoretical position as its foundation. Another contribution reviews the area of non-speech communication with those with special needs, a subject of much current interest and controversy. Other chapters focus on major issues such as maladaptive behaviour and deinstitionalization and use of new technology. The book is thus likely to be relevant to all those with an interest in advances in mental handicap research.

The first section presents the impacts of the judicial system on the mentally retarded offender, and researcher attempts to find a relationship between intelligence and delinquency. The second section deals with the legal mandates, such as P.L. 94-142, and the parameters that schools much comply with the ensure that every student, regardless of his/her handicap, receives a free and appropriate education. Finally, the last section focuses upon some of the methods currently being used by school districts to comply with P.L. 94-142 and presents a case study that amplifies the need for schools to identify and nurture exceptional children.
