CHE Faculty Publish In Expansive Volume

Four faculty members at the Georgetown University Center on Health and Education have published in the Handbook of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, published in 2007 by Springer.

Sharon Landesman Ramey, Ph.D., Craig T. Ramey, Ph.D., and Robin Gaines Lanzi, Ph.D., contributed a chapter on, "Early Intervention: Background, Research Findings, and Future Directions." Laraine Masters Glidden, Ph.D., also co-authored a chapter entitled, "Family Assessment and Social Support."

The volume examines in detail the numerous advances in the field and summarizes major domains and emerging sub-specialties into one reference. Contributors include a panel of leading scientist-clinicians who offer much-needed insight and guidance into ongoing improvements in theory and practice, as well as intervention and prevention.

The Rameys, longtime and internationally renowned experts in the field, direct CHE. Lanzi, who serves as the center's research director, is also assistant professor in the Department of Human Science at NHS. And Glidden is a visiting professor who also edits the International Review of Research in Mental Retardation, an Elsevier publication.
