“The book explores comorbid psychological, medical, and motor disorders in people with intellectual disabilities. It also considers evidence-based treatments and where future research should be directed. … This book does a good job of discussing various comorbid conditions for individuals with intellectual disabilities in terms of assessment and treatment.” (Gary B. Kaniuk, Doody’s Book Reviews, July, 2016)
