Providing services and supports to people with disabilities is an important role, one that requires an understanding of the philosophy, "Everything Counts." How can organizations help people with mental, developmental, and physical disabilities achieve their goals of learning, working, and participating in the community? Art Dykstra, who has devoted his 30-year career to trying to answer that question, provides the philosophical foundation as well as the necessary tools and strategies you can use to meet the needs of the people you serve.

Handbook for Qualified Mental Retardation Professionals

Problem behaviors in persons with developmental and mental disabilities pose a significant challenge to the human service professionals who work with them. Every behavior has a positive intended outcome. Yet in many instances of disruptive or dangerous behavior, the outcome is invisible to the people trying to serve and support them. This handbook, the first in the High Tide Disability Series, is written for professionals in the field of developmental and mental disabilities like you. It provides a hands-on, practical approach to recognizing, analyzing, and understanding problem behaviors. Dr. James Carr and Dr. David Wilder, experts in the field of behavioral psychology and experienced practitioners in the field of disabilities, have put together this handbook so that you can not only understand, but begin to use a variety of proven strategies that help people achieve the outcomes they want, without having to resort to the challenging behaviors that distance themselves from those around them and, in some instances, risk their health and safety. Functional Assessment and Intervention covers all of the fundamental elements of behavior analysis and behavior management for professionals working with individuals who have disabilities.

The objectives of managed care--cost containment, efficiency, and uniformity--seem to be at odds with the individualized habilitation goals of persons with disabilities. Person-centered planning and self-determination require individuality and flexibility--not traditional strengths of managed care plans. But, like it or not, managed care is here to stay. How the field of disabilities meets the challenge of managed health care in the beginning of the next century will determine to a large extent how well it meets the unique and complex needs of persons with disabilities. Dale Mitchell traces the advent of managed care in the U.S. from both the acute and long-term care perspective, analyzes the forces at work in government and the health care industry, points to the likely future outcomes, and suggests ways to prepare for and make the most of the far-reaching and significant changes to come for the field of developmental disabilities. "Managed Care & Developmental Disabilities" is a must-read for anyone concerned with the future of health care for persons with disabilities, as well as the quality and cost of that care.
