Abstract

This chapter provides a review of research findings and professional practices regarding leisure for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Following a conceptualization of leisure in relation to other concepts and activities, the authors present a review of assessments, treatment and training modalities, and evidence-based practices currently used with individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The authors also present advances in the field that will assist a diverse range of professionals who work with this population.
