of syndromes in the developed human are now known to be linked to specific
chromosomal deviations." – W. Larry Williams, Ph.D.

It also covers genetic and medical causes, and pharmacological interventions. Dr. Williams provides an overview of the current services and supports landscape, as well as issues that are developing in the 21st Century.
The four appendices cover diagnostic criteria, common genetic syndromes, federal laws that relate to mental retardation and environmental-biological causes of mental retardation.
