Practice Guidelines for Diagostic, Treatment and Related Support Services for Persons with Developmental Disabilities and Serious Behavioral Problems

Author: William I. Gardner, Anton Dosen, Dorothy M Grifiths, and Robert King

Description:

The Practice Guidelines described in this volume identify the types of services, professional and support personnel, and agency structures required to address the needs of persons with developmental disabilities who present with serious behavioral concerns. These Practice Guidelines offer both (a) a template for use by governmental and private agencies at local, regional, provincial, and national levels to evaluate the status of current clinical and related support services and (b) a blueprint for modifying or expanding existing services to insure that unmet needs are addressed.

These Practice Guidelines address the following areas: The Assessment Process (Guideline 1), Treatment and Related Supports (Guideline 2), Behavioral Crisis Approaches (GuideIine 3), Data Systems for Assessment of Treatment Plan Effectiveness (Guideline 4), Types and Contexts of Treatment and Support Plan Services (Guideline 5), Coordination of Services (Guideline 6), and Service Models for Delivery of Services (Guideline 7).
