Description
Help adults with intellectual disabilities improve their mental health and quality of life. This book introduces a new emotional development model that provides a comprehensive approach to supporting people with intellectual disability. The authors offer a detailed explanation of how challenging behaviour and mental health problems arise when an individual's basic emotional needs are not being met, and provide practical guidance on how to apply this approach in practice. Case examples throughout the book illustrate the effectiveness of this method, which is grounded in developmental neuroscience and psychology. This book will be of interest to professionals working with people with intellectual disability, including clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, occupational therapists, and others, as well as parents and caregivers who want to support individuals with ID in improving their mental health and quality of life.
