Im Bereich der Arbeit mit Menschen mit Behinderung findet das Empowerment-Konzept in der fachwissenschaftlichen Diskussion ebenso wie in der praktischen Rezeption zunehmende Verbreitung. Im Zeichen des Empowerment wurde das bislang gültige Fürsorgemodell klassischer heilpädagogischer Ansätze verabschiedet. Die Rollen der Akteure sowie das Selbstverständnis und die Arbeitsansätze der Professionellen im Arbeitsfeld fanden eine Neuausrichtung. Das Buch beleuchtet zunächst die Ideengeschichte und die Entwicklungspfade des Konzepts sowie den dadurch ausgelösten Wandel in der Behindertenhilfe. Dann werden zentrale Themen der aktuellen heilpädagogischen Fachdebatte im Zusammenhang mit dem Empowerment-Konzept (neu) diskutiert. Schließlich liefert der Band einen beispielhaften Querschnitt zu den bislang erprobten Ansätzen und Erkenntnissen aus der Praxis.

Work with people who have mental disabilities has been undergoing greater change in recent years than practically any other field in remedial and special needs teaching. As the ability of people with mental disability to learn and develop was recognized, a competence and strengths approach was adopted in the theories and concepts underlying support work for them, and this was supplemented by taking into account the views of those affected and a commitment to strengthen their legal rights. This pocket dictionary provides solid scientific guidance in the face of the rapid developments and upheavals in assistance for the mentally disabled that have taken place in recent years. It includes all of the major key concepts that are important from both the practical and theoretical viewpoints. At the same time, the pocket dictionary tries to indicate the interdisciplinary nature of this specialist field of work by including terms that come not only from the field of remedial and special needs teaching, but also from psychiatry/medicine, psychology, sociology, social policy and social work.

Autism has been the focus of a controversial interdisciplinary discussion over the last few years. Next to enhanced criteria in regards to the diagnosis of autism, early diagnosis during infantry and more detailed tools in regards to registering autistic behaviour, the debate was increasingly characterised by the mongering of autistic behaviour. The result of this development is a breadth of expert and key terms, as well as new interpretations of existing terms. All of the significant key terms, which are important from a practical and theoretical point of view, are being addressed by the book and it therefore represents a solid scientific guide.
