Abstract:This article engages with debates concerning the moral worth of human beings with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities (PIMDs). Some argue that those with such disabilities are morally less valuable than so-called normal human beings, whereas others argue that all human beings have equal moral value and that, therefore, each group of humans ought to be treated with equal concern. We will argue in favor of a view that takes points from opposing camps in the debates about the moral worth of humans with such disabilities. Our position, roughly, is this: most humans with PIMDs are persons in the morally significant sense and, therefore, deserve moral consideration equal to that granted to so-called “normal” human beings. Some humans with PIMD may not be persons, but nevertheless deserve moral consideration equal to that of persons because they stand in a special relation to persons.

Abstract The purpose of this study is to analyze the assessment implementation process applied to mentally retarded children, find patterns of development of mentally retarded children, and look for problems in carrying out assessments at TK LB C1 Dharma Rena Ring Putra.

Second, the assessment of the development of the intellectual disability children from the normal point, the implementation of the child's assessment of disability from the normality begins with daily observation, daily recording, analyzing data every month and recap the progress during the semester. The process of implementing the child's assessment of intellectual disability from the angle of normality refers to STPPA (Standard level of child development achievement).. Pattern development of intellectual disability children always develop in pairs, cognitive aspect always pairs with motor aspect, emotional social aspect paired with religion moral value while the aspect of language development and art always accompany those aspects. Problematic implementation of the assessment is the absence of assessment standards and appraisal books for intellectual disability children.

Ethnographic Data

What is day-to-day life like for people with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities who live in group homes? How do they express their desires and wishes? How do care workers think about them and treat them? Do they have basic rights to activities most of us take for granted: activities like sociability, sexuality, and moral affirmation? Narrowed Lives is an illuminating portrait of what life is like in Finnish group homes where adults who have profound intellectual and multiple disabilities live their lives. Based upon ethnographic data, it documents how care workers strive to guarantee individuality and dignity against a backdrop of scarce resources and misguided policies. This book argues that the lives of people with profound disabilities need not be determined by their impairments. It calls for a re-evaluation of disability policy so that its underlying conviction of people with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities as equally valuable fellow humans would materialise in practice. This novel and accessible book combines ethnography and philosophy, and will be of interest to researchers and students in disability studies, special education and philosophy, as well as parents, professionals and policy makers.

Abstract Stepping away from a normocentric understanding of autism goes beyond questioning the supposed lack of social motivation of autistic people. It evokes subversion of the prevalence of intellectual disability even in non-verbal autism. It also challenges the perceived purposelessness of some restricted interests and repetitive behaviors, and instead interprets them as legitimate exploratory and learning-associated manifestations.

Zusammenfassung. Psychische Störungen können über die ganze Lebensspanne auftreten. Strukturierte klinische Interviews sind zentrale Hilfsmittel für ihre rasche, zuverlässige und umfassende Diagnostik. Im deutschsprachigen Raum stehen mit den Verfahren der DIPS-Familie Interviews zur Diagnostik psychischer Störungen über die gesamte Lebensspanne zur Verfügung, die seit den 90er Jahren regelmäßig aktualisiert wurden. Ihre Reliabilität, Validität und Akzeptanz wurde wiederholt in großen Stichproben aus ambulanten, stationären und Forschungssettings überprüft. Die Einführung des DSM-5 erforderte eine umfassende Überarbeitung der DIPS-Interviews, deren wesentliche Merkmale dargestellt werden. Um die breitere Verwendung von strukturierten klinischen Interviews zu fördern, werden die Verfahren der DIPS-Familie neu als „Open Access-Dokumente“ zur Verfügung gestellt. Abschließend werden weitere Entwicklungen zu Training, Dissemination und Computerisierung im Ausblick angesprochen.
