商品描述
This volume advocates an optimistic new conceptual and practical approach to adulthood, aging, and education for individuals with intellectual disability (ID) across the lifespan. The compensation age theory (CAT) at the heart of this book suggests that the adulthood period in populations with ID may be characterized by processes of cognitive development, growth, and neural sprouting, rather than stagnation or even decline. Empirical findings indicate the contribution of chronological age, maturity, and accumulating life experiences to adults' continued cognitive growth and intelligence, as a result of direct mediation, cognitive intervention, and academic learning as well as exposure to indirect learning. Grounded in cumulative evidence for the CAT, the book presents comprehensive analysis of a practical holistic educational intervention model for enhancing adults' Cognition (literacy), Affect (including autonomy), and Behavior (adaptive behavior skills), including operative strategies, mediational parameters, and guidance for change agents in diverse settings. This triple CAB model offers detailed tools for promoting the cognitive improvement and invigoration of adults with ID in during ADL, vocational and leisure activities, at all severity levels ranging from mild and moderate to severe and profound, across different ID etiologies including Down syndrome, and even at advanced ages for adults with ID exhibiting comorbid Alzheimer's.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書提倡一種樂觀的新概念和實踐方法，針對有智力障礙（ID）個體在整個生命週期中的成年、老化和教育。書中核心的補償年齡理論（Compensation Age Theory, CAT）建議，智力障礙人群的成年期可能以認知發展、成長和神經生長的過程為特徵，而非停滯甚至衰退。實證研究顯示，年齡、成熟度和累積的生活經驗對成年人持續的認知成長和智力有貢獻，這是由於直接的中介、認知介入、學術學習以及間接學習的接觸。基於對補償年齡理論的累積證據，本書全面分析了一個實用的整體教育介入模型，旨在提升成年人的認知（識字）、情感（包括自主性）和行為（適應性行為技能），包括操作策略、中介參數以及在不同環境中變革代理人的指導。這個三重CAB模型提供了詳細的工具，以促進智力障礙成年人在日常生活活動（ADL）、職業和休閒活動中的認知改善和活力，涵蓋從輕度和中度到重度和深度的各種嚴重程度，並包括不同的智力障礙病因，如唐氏症，甚至在伴隨阿茲海默症的智力障礙成年人中，於高齡時期也適用。
作者簡介
Hefziba Lifshitz is an Associate Professor at the School of Education of Bar-Ilan University, Israel, where she heads the master's program in intellectual disability (ID). Lifshitz holds the Lois Machado Chair for Cognitive Modifiability and Human Development and also chairs the Baker Research and Developmental Center for Young Children with ID. In these roles, she became aware of the need for research oriented to cognitive educational rehabilitation, relating specifically to the developmental potential inherent in the adulthood period among populations with ID. To date, she has focused her body of research on empirically examining her compensation age theory (CAT) and evaluating the triple CAB (cognition-affect-behavior) intervention programs that she designed for persons with all ID severity levels and etiologies. The Otzmot Empowerment Project that she initiated now includes multiple stages of inclusion in the academic world for adults with ID. Six such post-secondary students who are currently fully included in regular academic courses are expected to complete their BA degree in 2022.
作者簡介(中文翻譯)
赫夫齊巴·利夫希茨（Hefziba Lifshitz）是以色列巴伊蘭大學（Bar-Ilan University）教育學院的副教授，負責智力障礙（ID）碩士課程。利夫希茨擔任洛伊斯·馬查多（Lois Machado）認知可塑性與人類發展講座教授，並且是貝克研究與發展中心（Baker Research and Developmental Center）負責年幼智力障礙兒童的主任。在這些角色中，她意識到需要針對認知教育康復進行研究，特別是與智力障礙人群在成年期內固有的發展潛力相關。迄今為止，她的研究重點是實證檢驗她的補償年齡理論（compensation age theory, CAT），並評估她為各種智力障礙程度和病因設計的三重CAB（認知-情感-行為）介入計劃。她發起的Otzmot賦能計劃目前包括多個階段，旨在促進智力障礙成年人在學術界的包容性。六名目前完全融入常規學術課程的高等教育學生預計將於2022年完成學士學位。
