Issues in Defining Mental Retardation.
Reiss, Steven
American Journal on Mental Retardation, v99 n1 p1-7 Jul 1994
This paper responds to criticisms of the American Association on Mental Retardation's new definition of mental retardation. Emphasis is on the intent to change from a deficiency model to a support model, with more importance given to the role of the environment. Also addressed are IQ score guidelines, cultural bias, assessment, and public policy. (DB)
