Good Stuff: Practical Positive Supports for People with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities

"The Good Stuff." It's the stuff that makes us feel whole - the respect, acceptance, security, and support that allow us to be our best selves. And it's the stuff every Direct Support Professional should provide when they serve individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and mental illness (MI). In this book, NADD brings together 20 experts in the field to build a framework for creating positive, person-centered supports for people with IDD/MI, using the latest evidence-based strategies. With a focus on whole-person wellness, "The Good Stuff" empowers anyone who cares for, works with, or loves someone with IDD/MI to honor their individual's unique needs and help them live their best possible life.
