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
