Understanding and responding to behaviour that challenges in intellectual disabilities

Children and adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities (IDD) and/ or autism who display behaviour that challenges those around them continue to be particularly vulnerable to beingmisunderstood and inappropriately supported, despite policy and best practice guidance. Many families of children whose behaviour challenges often remain likewise unheard and isolated. Understanding and Responding to Behaviour that Challenges inIntellectual Disabilities (second edition) addresses the need for an up-to-date handbook which, while well-grounded in research, policy and latest practice, is essentially non-academic and accessible for those occupying many roles, including support workers and professionals, as well as students and family members.
