Assessing Behaviors Regarded as Problematic : For People with Developmental Disabilities, Paperback / softback Book

Assessing Behaviors Regarded as Problematic : For People with Developmental Disabilities Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

People with developmental disabilities sometimes behave in ways that others, or they themselves, regard as problematic.

This original book is about what practitioners can do to make sense of behaviors, in order to support clients more effectively. The author offers practical strategies for gathering and analysing information about behaviors, in partnership with the individual concerned, in order to gain a useful understanding of why a particular behavior occurs.

The inclusion of case histories, with corresponding behavior plans, clearly demonstrates the real-life application of assessment methods. With its strong emphasis on the importance of establishing equitable, respectful relationships between professionals and people with learning disabilities, this is a book that professionals involved in the lives of people with developmental disabilities will find invaluable.
