Description
Supporting Positive Behaviour in Intellectual Disabilities and Autism: Practical Strategies for Addressing Challenging Behaviour. This accessible handbook offers a person-centred approach to addressing challenging behaviour in individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities, including autism. It recognises that such behaviour is often meaningful and communicative, revealing underlying sensory or environmental issues. The book provides practical advice and strategies for working with families, support staff, and professionals, as well as best practice for analysing and addressing challenging behaviour in various settings. The author's approach focuses on keeping the human story at the heart of any assessment and intervention, using informal and frank language to ensure that everyone involved can understand and engage with the material. With questions for discussion and exercises for reflection, this book is an indispensable resource for professionals, parents, and anyone working with people with intellectual disability or autism. With its practical strategies and person-centred approach, this handbook provides a valuable guide for addressing challenging behaviour in individuals with intellectual disabilities and autism.
