Abstract

Accessible summary

•?People with learning disabilities who have challenging behaviour often experience poor support which affects their quality of life.

•?This paper looks at an example of work done with an individual and his staff team which helped reduce challenging behaviour and provided him with an improved service and better quality of life.

•?The research indicates the importance of people with learning disabilities who have challenging behaviour receiving behaviour support to enable them to live full lives in the community.

Summary

Research has indicated that challenging behaviour leads to placement breakdown and poor quality of life for people with learning disabilities. This paper provides a case study example of successful intervention with an individual with learning disabilities and challenging behaviour, using a Multi-element model of support, including functional assessment, behaviour support plans and use of a monitoring system (Periodic Service Review). Outcomes of this intervention are presented and their possible implications considered.
