This course will prepare students to specialize in work with the intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) population, both from a community-based and institutionalized viewpoint. Emphasis will be on the historical developments of treatment of the IDD population. Students will focus on social work advocacy and social justice for those who experience a disability and prepare students to engage in both career and ministry opportunities. Attention will be given to those contexts of social work practice where IDD diagnoses are most prevalent. Students will be encouraged to reflect on their own assumptions of disability, applying a biblical approach to their understanding. (2 credits)
