It discusses the change in perceptions of disability and the shifting use of traditional deficit-based treatments. It presents evidence-based approaches and strategies that promote individuals’ strengths and capacities and as well as provide supports and services to enhance quality of life. Chapters address medical and psychological aspects in intellectual and developmental disabilities, such as mindfulness, motivation, physical well-being, and self-regulation. The book also discusses uses of assessment practices in evaluating interventions and client outcomes.  In addition, it explores ways practitioners, with positive psychology, can focus on what a person is capable of achieving, thereby leading to more effective approaches to care and treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eTopics featured in the \u003ci\u003eHandbook \u003c\/i\u003einclude:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTranslating the quality of life concept into practice.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Casual Agency Theory and its implications for understanding self-determination.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Mindfulness-Based Individualized Support Plan (MBISP) and its use in providing support to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe unique role that friendship plays to people’s lives and social well-being.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupported Decision-Making (SDM) as an alternative to guardianship.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA positive psychology approach to aging and retirement.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eHandbook of Positive Psychology in Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities\u003c\/i\u003e is a must-have resource for researchers, professors, and graduate students as well as clinicians and related professionals in clinical child and school psychology, behavioral therapy, social work, applied behavioral analysis, recreational therapy, occupational therapy, education, speech and language pathology, psychiatry, clinical medicine, and nursing.    \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2018-08-14\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319865409\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-59066-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 254cm x178cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 383\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44775486259340,"sku":"9783319865409","price":449.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319865409.jpg?v=1777996505","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319865409","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
