The Little Book of Practical Solutions
|
 |
Author: Edward Hughes, MA.
Description:
The Little Book of Practical Solutions presents a concise yet
comprehensive review of the issues related to problem behavior by
individuals with developmental disabilities and/or mental health
needs. The book is written in an informal jargon-free style and is
designed to be a resource for family members, case managers,
qualified mental retardation professionals, advocates, direct support
professionals, and clinicians without advanced training in psychology
or behavior analysis.
Because of this, The Little Book includes support strategies that can
be implemented by treatment teams with or without the guidance of
specialized clinicians. Even in those instances where specialized
clinicians are involved, The Little Book will assist readers in being
active participants in the development of formal support strategies
and in assessing the appropriateness of recommendations from
specialized consultants. |
