Chapter 1: Introduction—a discussion of biomedical and psychosocial influences that place the person with developmental disabilities at risk for developing challenging behaviors.
Chapter 2: Understanding Challenging Behaviors—a description of the three categories of factors that influence the occurrence and habitual recurrence of challenging behaviors, namely, instigating conditions, vulnerability conditions that places a person at “increased risk," and reinforcing conditions that contribute to the purposefulness or function of these behaviors.
Chapter 3: Initiating the Case Formulation Process—a description of the steps involved in developing a set of diagnostic-intervention formulations relating to specific challenging behaviors.
Chapter 4: Methods of Gathering Assessment Information—a description of procedures for gathering the individual specific diagnostic information needed in the case formulation process.
Chapter 5: Creating Preventive and Proactive Interventions—translating assessment information into individual centered biomedical and psychosocial interventions of a preventive and proactive manner.
Chapter 6: Creating Habilitatively Appropriate Environments—creating high quality positive environments for people that support each person in (a) developing personal competencies, (b) minimizing challenging behaviors, and (c) enriching his/her life.
