Reviews the book, Health Promotion for People with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities edited by Laurence Taggart and Wendy Cousins (see record 2014-16210-000). This book brings together international experts in the field of intellectual and developmental disabilities to compile current research, surveillance data and contemporary views of health promotion to eradicate health disparities among individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities living in our communities. Although most of the contributors are Australian and European, the book is relevant to all geographic regions of the world. This well-written book offers recommendations, encouragement and factual information that are useful in empowering family care-givers, professionals working with individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and the individuals themselves.
