The Handbook of Crisis Intervention and Developmental Disabilities synthesizes a substantive range of evidence-based research on clinical treatments as well as organizational processes and policy. This comprehensive resource examines the concept of behavioral crisis in children and adults with special needs and provides a data-rich trove of research-into-practice findings.

Key coverage includes:
-Assessment of problem behaviors.

-Intensive treatment in pediatric feeding disorders.
-Therapeutic restraint and protective holding.
