Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities often display problem behaviors, including aggression. Sometimes, aggression, or other problem behaviors, can become so severe that more intensive supports and treatment are necessary. In such cases, individuals may undergo assessment and treatment of aggression in inpatient and residential settings. In this chapter, we describe a general assessment and treatment process for aggressive behaviors that may be well suited for inpatient and residential settings. Recommendations for improving client outcomes through assessment modifications, staff and caregiver training, and treatment generalization are also discussed. |
