Summary

The purpose of this study is to help individuals and their caregivers develop a plan on how to recognize, deal with and respond to abusive situations.

Detailed description

The goal of this project is to address the current deficiencies by creating a program that will guide individuals who have intellectual disabilities and a Learning Partner (LP - care provider, relative, group home staff) in developing a comprehensive Individual Response Plan (IRP) that can be used before, during, and after an abusive event. Behavioral skills training and behavioral relaxation training -- two instructional approaches with evidence for effectiveness in this population -- will be included to address the unique learning needs of people who have intellectual disabilities and to maximize opportunities for skill-based learning. Video and workbook activities will train the LP to effectively implement the abuse prevention and response strategies, thus increasing the potential for generalization in the natural environment and long-term maintenance of skills.
