Abstract
Up to a fifth of people with intellectual disabilities display challenging behaviour that has a significant impact on their health and quality of life. Psychotropic medication does not appear to confer any clinical benefits beyond risk reduction in acute situations. However, very few non-pharmacological treatments have clear evidence of clinical and cost-effectiveness and there is therefore often a dearth of advice as to which components or interventions would be helpful. To our knowledge no single model has been developed to provide a clear path from understanding the behaviour to the implementation of a therapeutic approach for such a complex clinical problem. In this article we describe a stepped-care model that needs to be further operationalised in the assessment and management of behaviours that challenge in adults with intellectual disabilities.
