Sammanfattning
The current study elaborates on earlier findings (Stubrud, 2015a) that identified six ecological factors that are relevant in preventing and handling challenging behavior in persons with intellectual disabilities. These six factors are (1) stable social conditions, (2) individual adaptation of the structure of services, (3) adapted communication, (4) help to regulate of emotions and behavior, (5) social validation of the behavioral interventions, and (6) reflection on the use of coercion and restraint. These factors are discussed and given a theoretical basis. Together the factors constitute a model for decreasing the use of coercion and restraint in the delivery of services to persons with intellectual disabilities. Recommendations for empirical testing of the model and further refinement of its elements and processes are offered.
