Description
Active Support: A Proven Approach to Empowering People with Intellectual Disabilities. This evidence-based approach is widely used in care settings and has been shown to be particularly effective for supporting people with more severe disabilities. Written by two experienced professionals, the book provides a comprehensive overview of Active Support and how it can be applied in practice. The authors explore the key principles of Active Support, including communication styles and strategies for engaging people with intellectual disabilities in meaningful activity. They also discuss the practical considerations for implementing and maintaining this approach, drawing on examples from various organisations and individual case studies.
