| Résumé : |
Sarah Jackson works as an Advanced Practitioner and Helen Duperouzel works as a Governance Coordinator within an NHS Foundation Trust in Lancashire. In this paper, they highlight the fact that a lack of effective autism-specific interventions and staff guidance in their use can lead to ineffective treatment and care. When adults with autism are flot having their needs met appropriately, this leads to frustration and a deterioration of behaviour, which may then be labelled ‘challenging’. They describe pilot staff training programme made up of autism-specific interventions targeted at a core staff team in a hospital ward supporting several men with autism described as having chailenging behaviour. The training was tailored to the needs of these specific individuals, with an emphasis on positive behavioural support. The impact of such training led to a marked decrease in challenging behaviour as well as to a significant increase staff knowledge - an important correlation for ail staff working with individuals with autism and ail those involved in training. One member of staff said:
‘I learnt a lot, I now know that I shouldn’t be making decisions for my service users.’ |
