The continuing drive towards care in the community has made
effective assessment of the needs of people with intellectual
disabilities more critical than ever. This handbook enables
professionals working with adults with intellectual disabilities to
establish the needs of individuals through systematic assessment
and to employ such assessments to monitor and evaluate the
effectiveness of the service they provide.
The volume is divided into two main parts. The first consists of
conceptual chapters addressing issues on the function of assessment
in various behavioral domains. The second part describes selected
assessment instruments and strategies that are commercially
available or are published in an accessible form. Each of these is
considered with respect to function, construction, availability and
utility.
The expert contributors to this volume cover the full spectrum
of need, including adults with intellectual disabilities and
additional mental health difficulties, behavioral problems, also
considering those with profound intellectual and multiple
disabilities, and those suspected of developing dementia. The
assessment of quality of life is given special consideration, as is
assessment for employment.
