| Synopsis: |
This handbook presents a diverse range of effective treatment approaches for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Its triple focus on key concepts, treatment and training modalities, and evidence-based interventions for challenging behaviors of individuals with IDD provides a solid foundation for effective treatment strategies, theory-to-implementation issues, and the philosophical and moral aspects of care.

With its quality-of-life approach, the handbook details practices that are person-centered and supportive as well as therapeutically sound.Topics featured in the handbook include:Functional and preference assessments for clinical decision making.Treatment modalities from cognitive behavioral therapy and pharmacotherapy to mindfulness, telehealth, and assistive technologies.Self-determination and choice as well as community living skills.Quality-of-life issues for individuals with IDD.Early intensive behavior interventions for autism spectrum disorder.Skills training for parents of children with IDD as well as staff training in positive behavior support.Evidence-based interventions for a wide range of challenging behaviors and issues.The Handbook of Evidence-Based Practices in Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities is a must-have resource for researchers, clinicians, scientist-practitioners, and graduate students in clinical psychology, social work, behavior therapy, and rehabilitation. |
