Living with others with behaviours that challenge: experiences and perceptions of adults with intellectual disabilities.

CONCLUSIONS: People with an intellectual disability are knowledgeable about behaviours that challenge, have insight into potential causes, and can offer suggestions as to what might help. Results were discussed in relation to clinical implications and methodological strengths. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION Living with others who engage in behaviours that challenge has a significant impact on the well-being of people with an intellectual disability. People with an intellectual disability need to be empowered through inclusion in the decisions that concern them, especially in relation to their living circumstances. This is vital in order to improve the quality of life and mental well-being, enhance opportunities for skill development and promote independence. PMID: 33377795 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
