A Systematic Approach to Personal Support Plans is a concise practical guide for individual and organizational approaches to developing, implementing, and evaluating personal support plans informed by evidence.

The components and steps in the systematic approach are described in detail. Readers will be guided in  understanding the person; understanding the person’s support needs; developing, implementing, and reviewing the plan; and evaluating the outcomes.

The last section of the book presents four examples from organizations that incorporated one or more of the components and implementation steps in their programs.

Clinical Judgment is designed to assist clinicians in making high quality, valid, and precise decisions or recommendations in situations involving diagnosis, classification, and planning supports.

Today, clinicians are being asked to formulate high-stakes decisions and recommendations that frequently require a level of competency beyond their formal training regarding equity, inclusion, self-determination, and self-advocacy. In the second edition, the authors synthesized evaluative input from colleagues and literature-based critiques and extended their analysis and evaluation of the role of clinical judgment in decision making.

The Diagnostic Adaptive Behavior Scale® (DABS®) User's Manual provides essential preparation for using the DABS.

Adaptive behavior consists of conceptual, social, and practical adaptive skills.

Designed for use with children between the ages of 4 - 21, the norm-referenced DABS interview provides a precise assessment of adaptive behavior for the purpose of determining whether the person meets one of the criteria necessary for a diagnosis of intellectual disability (ID). 

The DABS has a number of unique features that support its precision, accuracy, validity, and credibility in making a diagnosis of ID. The DABS:

• Measures some aspects of adaptive behavior that are not currently measured by other standardized instruments, including naiveté, gullibility, and technology-based skills.
• Uses item response theory (IRT) to reliably measure individual performance levels across the continuum of adaptive skills and ages.
• Provides precise information to assist users in determining significant limitations in adaptive behavior.

The User’s Manual includes a sample copy of the interview form. Bundle packs of interview forms are also available in the bookstore.

Because the DABS relies on IRT, it cannot be scored by hand, and requires a specially developed computer program for scoring. A complimentary, single-use voucher code for the scoring platform is included with the purchase of each manual.

The Diagnostic Adaptive Behavior Scale ® (DABS®) is an instrument for assessing the adaptive behavior of people between the ages of 4 and 21 for the purpose of determining whether the person meets the second criterion for a diagnosis of intellectual disability (ID).

The DABS is a norm-referenced instrument that uses data obtained from an interview with a respondent who knows the person very well.

The DABS has a number of unique features that support its precision, accuracy, validity, and credibility in making a diagnosis of ID, including:

• Measures some aspects of adaptive behavior that are not currently measured by other standardized instruments, including naiveté, gullibility, and technology-based skills.
