Dyadic Developmental Practicehas evolved from a model of direct therapy (DDP) originally developed for children who are fostered or adopted. This therapeutic approach is tailored to building relationships and to help address past trauma experiences.This book is first to offer DDP approaches and adaptations when supporting children and adults with an intellectualdisability (ID).The authors outline the key concepts and frameworks used in DDP, illustrated through a range of case studies and practice examples. The book considersall elements of DDP including psychotherapy, parenting practices and PACE(that stands for being Playful, Accepting, Curious and Empathetic about a persons experience).The book acknowledges that the PBS framework is prevalent within services for people with ID and offers ways to draw on the DDP framework to enhance this work.Dyadic Developmental Practice andIntellectual Disabilityis written in an accessible style for health workers and social care staff. The book includes key resources developed for future training and supervision.The foreword has been written by Kim Golding, an active developer of DDP in the UK who was trained and mentored byDan Hughes, the founder of DDP.
