AAMD's 1983 Classification in Mental Retardation as Utilized by State Mental Retardation/Developmental Disabilities Agencies.

Lowitzer, Arthur C.; And Others

Mental Retardation, v25 n5 p287-91 Oct 1987

A survey of state mental retardation/developmental disabilities agencies found that while most employ a classification system that is compatible with or derived from that of the American Association on Mental Deficiency (AAMD), only 22 are actually using the 1983 edition of the AAMD alone or with another system.
