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).

Human Needs and Intellectual Disabilities: Applications for Person Centered Planning, Dual Diagnosis, and Crisis Intervention

Steven Reiss, Ph.D.

Human Needs and Intellectual Disabilities identifies the 12 human needs most relevant to the lives of people with intellectual disabilities, autism and related developmental disabilities.  It includes detailed, practical suggestions for caregivers or parents interested in the happiness, quality of life, and self-determintion of their loved ones or consumers.  The book includes detailed, practical suggestions for reducing episodes of challenging behavior and psychiatric symptoms in people with a dual diagnosis (intellectual disabilities and mental illness).  It shows how to substitute the language of individuality (e.g., "friendly person") for the language of disability (e.g., "person with disability").  It also reduces the tendency of planners to confuse their own value system for that of the consumer.  The book includes scholarly reviews of dual diagnosis literature on mental illness, prevalence, and assessment.

Positive Identity Development

Author: Karyn Harvey, PhD

Positive Identity Development is an exciting new approach to treatment for individuals with intellectual disabilities.  This book provides a new theoretical perspective on treatment along with a variety of innovative tools.  It rejects reducing adults with intellectual disabilities to a mere compilation of their behaviors and promotes the use of a positive, therapeutic approach to each unique individual. Psychologists, social workers and therapists should be able to use the tools presented in this book to directly enhance the effectiveness of the treatment they provide to adults with intellectual disabilities. This book promotes well-being on every level and explores a broad range of issues relevant to the life and mental health of adults with intellectual disabilities
