Description

Problem behaviors in persons with developmental and mental disabilities pose a significant challenge to the human service professionals who work with them. Every behavior has a positive intended outcome. Yet in many instances of disruptive or dangerous behavior, the outcome is invisible to the people trying to serve and support them. This handbook, the first in the High Tide Disability Series, is written for professionals in the field of developmental and mental disabilities like you. It provides a hands-on, practical approach to recognizing, analyzing, and understanding problem behaviors. Dr. James Carr and Dr. David Wilder, experts in the field of behavioral psychology and experienced practitioners in the field of disabilities, have put together this handbook so that you can not only understand, but begin to use a variety of proven strategies that help people achieve the outcomes they want, without having to resort to the challenging behaviors that distance themselves from those around them and, in some instances, risk their health and safety. Functional Assessment and Intervention covers all of the fundamental elements of behavior analysis and behavior management for professionals working with individuals who have disabilities.
