Meeting Emotional Needs in Intellectual Disability

by Tanja Sappok / Sabine Zepperitz

Description

The book explores in detail how challenging behavior 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 behavior
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. 

Target group: For:
• clinical psychologists and psychiatrists
• occupational therapists
• learning disability nurses
• speech and language therapists
• teachers in special education settings
• parents and caregivers
