Brookes Publishing Company, Inc, the book provides a framework of ideas for meeting challenges and achieving an agreed-upon set of principles and practices. The framework consists of four goal domains: access, feasibility, developmental and social outcomes, and social integration. Dr. Guralnick and respondents representing multiple perspectives will have a dialogue about an agenda for change.
