Understanding and Responding to Behaviour that Challenges in Intellectual Disabilities sets out to equip family members and support staff to better understand behaviours, and to help improve the quality of the lives of people with intellectual disabilities. It is split into four sections, each representing a crucial step in understanding behaviour that challenges. Part 1 presents fundamental approaches to thinking about and responding to behaviour that challenges. Part 2 is all about trying to understand the messages underpinning the behaviour. Part 3 is about putting into action the knowledge gained through exploring and assessment. Part 4 is reflective in nature and considers the real experiences arising from supporting people whose behaviour challenges and the implications.
The second edition is a complete revision and updating of content, aiming to address key knowledge requirements and concerns of people working in the field, with opportunities for reflection and professional development. Case studies explore how to best to address issues in practice.
