Study Notes
Biopsychosocial Model
- Challenging behavior is influenced by multiple factors including medical, psychological, and social environmental issues.
- The Biopsychosocial Model helps to understand the interplay between these factors.
- Challenging behavior is often a symptom of other underlying conditions.
- Focus on identifying and modifying the causes of challenging behavior.
- Challenging behavior is a non-specific symptom, meaning that it can be caused by many different underlying factors.
Griffiths and Gardner Study
- Dynamic interplay between biomedical, psychological, and social-environmental factors influences challenging behavior.
- Focus on identifying and modifying causes of challenging behavior.
- Assessment involves analyzing potential biomedical, social-environmental, and psychological factors.
Instigating Conditions
- Stimulus events that signal the occurrence of challenging behaviors.
- Physical, social, and psychological environments, as well as medical and psychiatric factors, influence challenging behavior.
Vulnerability Conditions
- Features of individuals and/or environments that increase the risk of challenging behaviors.
- Personal characteristics and environmental factors can contribute to vulnerabilities.
Assessment and Intervention
- Assessment is interdisciplinary and includes the client, family, and caregivers.
- Assessment provides understanding and guides appropriate treatment.
- A staging plan is needed for interventions to allow for the influence of various interventions.
Best Practice Features
- Assessment must be interdisciplinary and include the client, family, and caregivers.
- Assessment provides a better understanding of challenges and guides treatment.
- Key to success is identifying and addressing the underlying causes of challenging behavior.
Summers et al.
- Biomedical factors such as physical conditions, medications, and psychiatric conditions need careful assessment.
- Psychological factors such as emotional distress, mood disorders, and intellectual disabilities need careful assessment.
- Screening for genetic disorders is important as specific disorders have associated medical conditions.
Key Considerations for Treatment Planning
- Biomedical Influencers: Medical history, medications, physical examinations, laboratory work-up, mental status examination, neurological testing, sleep studies, and diagnostic imaging are essential for treatment planning.
- Psychological Measurements: Intelligence tests, measures of adaptive functioning, language tests, academic achievement tests, and instruments for assessing psychopathology are important for treatment planning.
- Social-Environmental factors: Family history, social support, school environment, and community resources are important considerations for treatment planning.
