People with an intellectual disability are more likely to have dementia and we wanted to see if there was a way of helping this groupWe ran an eleven-week Cognitive Stimulation Therapy CST) group for people with an intellectual disability and their carers to see if this would help. This has helped other people without an intellectual disability with dementia.We wanted to see if the group was helpful, so we asked people that went what they thought about it and we also did some assessments with them before and after.All the information we collected showed us that people enjoyed the group and that this was helpful.We need to collect some more information about CST groups for people with an intellectual disability and dementia to check they really are helpful

Video Interaction Guidance (VIG) uses video clips to look at what is going well in relationships. This can help improve other things, such as behaviour.VIG can be used with adults with intellectual disabilities (ID) and their support workers to help improve the relationships between them.We are still learning how VIG can help adults with ID. This article gives some ideas about how it can be helpful.

If you have a learning disability, Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) might be used to support you.PBS is intended to teach helpful behaviours in place of unhelpful ones, and increase your quality of life. It should be available for your whole life in everywhere you might be.We followed up on 16 people who had PBS intervention that ended in 2018.As a group, their scores on our main measure (HoNOS-LD) were still better than when we first met them.Two people had died (12 per cent), 10 people still showed challenging behaviours (62 per cent), and 4 (25 per cent) did not. The four that did not weren’t receiving PBS any more.

We heard about the abuse and bad treatment of people with intellectual disabilities which had happened at an inpatient unit called Whorlton Hall in 2019.We were upset and angry that abuse keeps happening even though people have been trying to make sure support is better and safer.We wanted to write something to tell people that we thought the abuse was terrible and should not be happening.We hoped that we could write something that would tell people how important it is to:–help people to get better at spotting signs of emotional and physical abuse–report any abuse or poor support and make a plan to follow up to make sure this stops–share ideas of how we can better work together to stop abuse from happeningWe set up a small group of clinical psychologists to write a ‘position statement’ which would include all these things.We shared what we had written with a bigger group of psychologists and health professionals in our Attachment and Intellectual Disabilities Special Interest Group and they said what they thought was good and how to make it better.

• Research into the understanding of medication in staff that support people with intellectual disabilities (ID) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is very limited.• Existing research suggests that staff require more training around medication and need more involvement in medication decisions.• Training staff and involving them in medication decisions would help to improve the quality of life of people with ID and ASD, with side effects of medication identified and addressed more quickly.

• Sometimes people commit crimes called sex offences. This is when someone does something sexual to someone who did not want it to happen or were not able to agree to it. A small number of sex offenders have an intellectual disability.• We interviewed five men with intellectual disabilities who had committed sex offences. These men had completed group treatment to stop them from committing sex offences in the future. All of the men were living in the community.• The men we interviewed talked about joining and being part of group treatment.• Most said that they did not feel like they had a choice about starting group treatment. Others said that group treatment reminded them of school. Some told us they felt anxious about talking to other members about their sex offences. When they overcame their anxiety and shared their sex offences with other group members, they felt relieved.• The findings of this study are important because they will help professionals make sure the treatment is as good as possible.
