Interest has grown in the past few years about the place of social work in science. Questions remain, such as whether social work should be considered a science, and if so, where it fits into the constellation of sciences. This article attempts to shed light on these questions. After briefly considering past and present constructions of science and reflecting on views of science within the social work profession over time, we present an argument for how social work contributes to predominant questions facing science today through its unique ability to draw together and integrate knowledge from a variety of disciplines. Finally, we address how the profession can best prepare the coming generation of social workers to operate to their full potential in the current transdisciplinary world of science.

BackgroundThe nature and quality of end‐of‐life care received by adults with intellectual disabilities in out‐of‐home, non‐institutional community agency residences in Western nations is not well understood.MethodA range of databases and search engines were used to locate conceptual, clinical and research articles from relevant peer‐reviewed journals.ResultsThe present authors present a literature review of the agency, social and healthcare supports that impact end‐of‐life care for adults with intellectual disabilities. More information is needed about where people with intellectual disabilities are living at the very end of life and where they die.ConclusionsThe support needs for adults with intellectual disabilities will change over time, particularly at the end of life. There are some areas, such as removing barriers to providing services, staff training, partnerships between agencies and palliative care providers, and advocacy, where further research may help to improve the end‐of‐life care for adults with intellectual disabilities.
