Description: The webinar will give an accessible overview of some of the key theories that have informed our understanding of the emotional development of people with intellectual disabilities. Drawing on chapters from his book with co-author Victoria Shimmens, Love, Attachment and Intellectual Disability: Meeting Emotional Needs and Developmental Trauma, Allan will talk about taking a trauma-informed approach to caring for people with intellectual disabilities. The author’s aim is to shift the focus from managing behaviour which challenges to looking at attachment theory and practices to support individuals’ wellbeing to promote positive change.
For: All health and social care professionals, who help people with intellectual disabilities, family caregivers and care providers.
