I entered the field of Developmental Disabilities with over 20 years in nursing and a certification in continuing education and staff development. Neither my nursing education nor continuing education included enough content to make me an "expert" in this field. I joined the Developmental Disabilities Nurses Association (DDNA) and signed up our nurses to undergo certification. This book was instrumental in refining our nursing practice. In conjunction with this book, I would recommend Batshaw (Children with Disabilities)for medical information and Beirne-Smith, Ittenbach and Patton (Mental Retardation) for an overview on special education.
