Using a developmental perspective, the authors offer a new,
integrated model for supporting people with intellectual disability
(ID). This concept builds upon recent advances in attachment
informed approaches, by drawing upon a broader understanding of the
social, emotional, and cognitive competencies of people with ID,
which is grounded in developmental neuroscience and psychology. The
book explores in detail how challenging behaviour and mental health
difficulties in people with ID arise when their basic emotional
needs are not being met by those in the environment. Using
individually tailored interventions, which complement existing
models of care, practitioners can help to facilitate maturational
processes and reduce behaviour that is challenging to others. As a
result, the "fit" of a person within his or her individual
environment can be improved. Case examples throughout the book
illuminate how this approach works by targeting interventions
towards the person's stage of emotional development. This book will
be of interest to a wide range of professionals working with people
with ID, including: clinical psychologists, psychiatrists,
occupational therapists, learning disability nurses, speech and
language therapists, and teachers in special education settings, as
well as parents and caregivers.
