Position paper on social work values: practice with individuals who have developmental disabilities.
This position paper was developed in response to a discussion led by Iris Gordon, president of the Social Work Division of the American Association on Mental Retardation (AAMR) at the 1991 annual meeting on the importance of social work values and the need for clarification in other divisions of the AAMR. The role of social workers and the importance of social work values in the field of developmental disabilities were discussed.
