Description
This book provides a comprehensive guide to Trauma-Informed Care for individuals with intellectual disabilities. As the provision of health and social care services becomes increasingly trauma-informed, this book addresses a gap in resources by showing how services can be delivered in a trauma-informed way.
Featuring contributions from authoritative professionals in the field, as well as a powerful account of abuse from an expert by experience, the book explores the history behind the importance of trauma and Trauma-Informed Care, and its impact on individuals with intellectual disabilities. It also examines a range of therapeutic interventions, including Positive Behavioural Support, Intensive Interaction, and Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy.
