However, many barriers need to be removed before such benefits can be more widely realized.

Identification of those at risk and undertaking of a comprehensive needs assessment are essential to maximize potential and quality of life and to reduce further deficits and social exclusion.

Transition has a particularly powerful effect.

The usefulness of cumulative records and scatterplots to evaluate changes in the occurrence of self‐injurious behaviour (SIB) and associated mechanical restraint is shown as are the advantages of using alternating treatment designs to assess the effectiveness of treatment conditions for someone who exhibits long‐term cyclic behaviour.

Emotional intelligence was associated with greater therapeutic understanding. Recommendations are made in relation to personal and professional characteristics and need for clinical supervision to support staff well‐being and the development of therapeutic competence and effectiveness.

The value of the intellectual performance is not yet waived for young people with intellectual disability in Taiwan. Changing the social opinions of intellectual disability can help to avoid stigmatizing these people with intellectual disability.

Young children tend to reason by association, rather by analogy, and people with intellectual disability present problems of memorization. Both these populations usually show low performances in AR. The present author investigated whether familiar material and external memories could enable them to obtain better performances.Material  Our computerized AR test uses a touch screen. The 2 × 2 matrices are composed of familiar pictures and relations, and declined in two versions. The classic version requires memorizing all the relations involved in order to discover the solution, whereas the construction version requires constructing the answer part by part by using external memories, which potentially unl...

Similarly, the significant role of maternal coping, moderating role of child gender and the multidimensional caregiving experiences have implications for future research and family interventions in India.

Insights into barriers to holistic goal setting and the clinical utility of the tool are described. Further refinement of the tool and trial in a range of early intervention contexts is required.

Data presented endorse research into interventions that enhance verbal and problem solving environments through‐out early and middle childhood and target reductions in negative affect in relation to supporting cognitive development for individuals with Down syndrome.

The present authors suggest that the formulation processes involved in behavioural training may play a key part in changing attributions as a consequence of this training. The present authors discuss the potential for more focussed intervention designed to change attributions and for better alignment of measures to specific attribution change expected as a result of specific training approaches.

Young adults with intellectual disabilities may also be more likely to feel victimized by interpersonal conflict. Implications of these findings and limitations of the study are discussed.

Further research is needed to explore in more detail how efficiency is achieved in practice.

Within a therapeutic context, they are likely to require assistance to reflect on events and consider alternative interpretations, which take into account individual and environmental factors. Future therapeutic developments may benefit from placing greater emphasis on emotional understanding and the intuitive links that people make between events and emotions.

Second, quality of care and service trajectories were operationalized using focus group discussions with parents and relatives as well as an extensive literature review. Third, the QUALITRA‐ID‐P was constructed using the results of the conceptualization and operationalization. Fourth, the QUALITRA‐ID‐...

Commissioners and managers of community intellectual disability services should bear in mind the perspective of service users with complex mental health needs, and take seriously the drawbacks in placing individuals out of area.

There is some indication that residential situation and in particular being placed in a residential placement out-of-area, may be an important factor in predicting adult protection referrals.

The large number of people who have finished treatment emphasizes the importance of developing housing in the community with sufficiently skilled support. The large number of patients in low secure services raises the question whether this type of service is recreating the intellectual disability institutions which government policy intends to close.

Reducing these to rigid moral polarities of 'right' and 'wrong' creates an unhelpful context for good decision making. A more constructive approach would include all stakeholders in discerning 'the right thing to do'.

In this, findings were similar to other more general deinstitutionalisation studies. Certain improvement over time was found within the follow-up period studied. Further follow-up may be relevant as developing the desired working culture among staff from an institutional background may take longer than was given within the length of this study.

Recommendations for future research and service development includes: the need to focus upon improving attitudes of nursing staff through training, and increased joint working between acute care services and Community Intellectual Disability Teams.

Some support was found for the proposed model. The clinical implications of the study, methodological considerations and recommendations for future research are discussed.

In the present study, we sent the Inventory of Potential Communicative Acts (IPCA) (Sigafoos et al. 2000a,b) to 136 families of children with AS. The IPCA aims to provide a systematic inventory and objective description of the communication forms and functions present in the child's repertoire. Seventy-nine surveys were returned and analyzed to determine differences in the number and types of communicative forms and functions in relation to the child's setting, genetic subtype, presence of epilepsy, age, and level of intellectual disability. The results showed significant differences in the forms and functions of re...
