This book brings together findings from research and clinical practice with a multi-disciplinary perspective regarding the important aspects of epilepsy in persons with intellectual disabilities. It is important for professionals involved in the care of persons with epilepsy and other intellectual disabilities to have a comprehensive understanding of the essential research and clinical issues. Academic books can often lose the personal approach, descending into lists of jargon, while clinical practitioner titles on the other hand may not always have the most up-to-date relevant knowledge to provide the appropriate care. This book is aimed to fill this gap with its strength of meshing the practical and clinical worlds, all written by a distinguished group of contributors.
