This book provides a comprehensive outline of the major parent
training programs for parents of children with intellectual or
developmental disabilities (IDD), including Autism Spectrum
Disorder. Parents or primary caregivers spend the most time with a
child, and training them in behaviour management and intervention
strategies is critical to improving a child's behaviour, to helping
them to learn new skills, and to reduce parental stress. Authored
by eminent specialists in the field and written for researchers and
clinicians supporting or treating families, each chapter focuses on
one of the key evidence-based parent training programs - from
Incredible Years (R) and Positive Family Intervention through to
Pivotal Response Treatment and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
Each chapter provides a breakdown that features an introduction to
the model, evidence for the model, a full description of the model,
a discussion of implementation and dissemination efforts, and
concluding comments. Grounded in research, this definitive overview
provides the evidence and guidance required for anyone considering
investing in or running a parenting program.
This comprehensive, interdisciplinary handbook presents the latest
research in the study, assessment, treatment, and understanding of
intellectual and developmental disabilities. The past five decades
have resulted in dramatic breakthroughs in the understanding of
intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Editor-in-Chief
Laraine Masters Glidden and her editorial team provide an overview
of the historical foundations of the field of IDD as well as
up-to-date material on clinical diagnosis, assessment,
interventions, and treatments for such conditions. It goes on to
address legal, ethical, and educational issues; and other social
issues that affect the lives of people with IDD, including family
impact and adjustment, relationships and parenting, spirituality,
residential and caretaking services, maltreatment and criminal
justice issues, stigma and ableism, health, and aging. Chapters
address the etiology and treatment of specific conditions
(including Down syndrome, fragile X syndrome, other genetic and
chromosomal conditions, autism spectrum disorder, acquired brain
injury, cerebral palsy, and fetal alcohol spectrum disorders) as
well as functioning in multiple domains and throughout the
lifespan. Contributing causes to IDD are explored within various
contexts such as culture, race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic
status.
