Critical Issues in Health for People with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities: Contemporary Research, Practice, and Policy
Naomi served as a contributing author as part of a national AAIDD workgroup convened in 2024 to develop policy, practice, and research recommendations for the next decade. She co-authored the chapter focused on Consent and Decision-Making.
This work reflects a critical shift in the field: moving away from questioning the capacity of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and instead placing accountability on systems and society to provide the supports and accommodations necessary for informed decision-making.
