Interventions to improve the quality of life for people for people with learning disabilities whose behaviour challenges
Peter Fox and Eric Emerson
This resource is designed to aid the selection and evaluation of appropriate outcomes of intervention for people with learning disabilities whose behaviour challenges services. It focuses on a range of potential outcomes, enabling the people involved to select those which are relevant, then to evaluate progress towards achieving those outcomes. Crucially, it looks at the personal and social consequences of the person's challenging behaviour and the effect of interventions on these quality of life factors, rather than simply focusing on attempting to reduce the challenging behaviour itself.
