Since its inception, the Dementia Services Information and Development Centre (DSIDC) has developed a large range of training modules designed to meet the individual needs of those health service providers wishing to purchase our services. It has produced two Irish based training videos which have sold well locally and internationally and which continue to be in popular demand. The first video entitled " Understanding Dementia" provides a broad overview of how brain function can be significantly disrupted by dementia and how changed brain functioning can produce many of the symptoms and behaviours that typically occur in dementia. A detailed account of the main divisions of the brain and an overview of the functions of the temporal, parietal and frontal lobes of the brain is provided. Through the careful use of three dimensional graphics, the video traces the way in which Alzheimer's Disease first presents in the individual and spreads through different parts of the brain. Distinctions are made between short term and long term memory and between episodic and semantic memory. The video finishes with a brief introduction to some of the commonly occurring challenging behaviours often presenting when a person develops a dementia.

In this film, we look at how services can be improved for people with behaviours that challenge. It explores a key factor to avoiding or reducing the challenging behaviour of people with learning disabilities; the people who support them need to provide better communication. This can be backed up by getting the environment right. To communicate better with people with challenging behaviour, staff need to get to know the people they support really well, so that the support can be properly personalised to the individual. We see how working in really well-informed ways can sometimes save money, and can improve the quality of life of people with behaviour which is seen as challenging.

This quality standard covers the care of children, young people and adults with a learning disability and behaviour that challenges. It is focused on ensuring that assessment leads to personalised care planning and access to meaningful activities. It consists of eight quality statements, aiming to ensure that the approaches used by staff to support people with a learning disability follow the least restrictive practice and promote privacy and dignity. The statements cover: comprehensive health assessment; initial assessment of behaviour that challenges; designated coordinator; personalised daily activities; review of restrictive interventions; use of medication; review of medication; and family and carer support.

This resource is written to help with the selection and evaluation of outcomes of intervention for people with learning disabilities whose behaviour presents challenges for services. The authors cover a range of potential outcomes, enabling selection of those which are most relevant in order to evaluate progress towards achieving those outcomes. They look at both the personal and social consequences of the person's challenging behaviour and the effect of interventions on these quality of life factors, rather than simply focusing on attempting to reduce the challenging behaviour itself. The book is designed to act as an addition to existing assessment and intervention processes and documentation, and can be adapted to suit individual circumstances. Sections include: positive goals and positive behavioural support (PBS); development of positive goals; and how to use positive goals. It is aimed at carers, clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, behaviour therapists, community learning disability nurses, social workers, care managers, members of community learning disability teams and members of challenging behaviour teams. The resource is presented in ring-bound format with a CD-rom containing video clips and photo stories.
