Evidence-Based Practice and Intellectual Disabilities responds to the recent increased focus on, and need for, the use of evidence-based practice (EBP) in treating intellectual disabilities.
* The first book wholly dedicated to addressing EBP specifically in relation to intellectual disabilities
* Provides clinical guidelines based on the strength of evidence of treatments for a given problematic behavioral topography or disorder
* Highly relevant to a wide-ranging audience, including professionals working in community services, clinicians and parents and carers
