Product Description
by Teresa Patricia Murphy (Author)
Aggressive symptoms are a significant and challenging part of life for some individuals with developmental and neurocognitive disorders. Accounts of caregivers reaching their breaking points and the hardships that these symptoms evoke are regularly featured in the media. A Kinder Way shares information about stressors, signs of escalation, and preventative strategies. Most importantly, it offers a non-invasive crisis intervention plan because when preventative measures fall short and a crisis ensues a safe, effective plan of action is essential. This book is for family caregivers, support workers, and educational staff who want to employ the least restrictive measures possible to encourage and support an individual's efforts to safely arrive at a calmer state when a crisis occurs.
