Many people with intellectual disabilities have difficulty managing feelings of anger. Anger Management is a complete training package for helping people with intellectual or physical disabilities deal with anger in constructive, effective ways. The training program consists of 12 fully-scripted sessions dealing with topics such as recognising feelings of anger, learning to relax and think calmly, and being assertive and handling problems competently. Each session follows a standard format, including introductions, reviews of previous sessions, and explanations. Photocopiable handouts, facilitator's script and evaluation sheets are provided for each session. Designed specifically for people with intellectual disabilities, but suitable for people with physical disabilities too, this training package provides relevant and authoritative information and exercises.

Children with disabilities represent a significant and increasing proportion of children in foster care. Using a US national sample of 304 foster mothers two groups of mothers were identified. One group willing to foster children with any type of disability except HIV/AIDS (51%) (Unconditional mothers), and a second group who were more selective (49%) (Selective mothers). Unconditional mothers fostered longer, fostered more children, and had more foster children in their homes. (Edited publisher abstract)

- MOORE Danielle, NETTLEBECK Ted
- Journal article citation:
- Journal of Intellectual and Developmental Disability, 38(3), 2013, pp.223-231.
- Publisher:
- Taylor and Francis
Background: Schoolboys (N = 156, M age = 13 years) participated in a disability awareness training programme that included guest speakers (athletes from the Paralympics and the Special Olympics), a documentary about people with a disability, a disability simulation activity, and factual information about different disabilities. Method: Participants were allocated to a training program or a control condition. Subsequently, control participants completed the training program. Attitudes toward disability were measured by the Chedoke–McMaster Attitudes Towards Children With Handicaps (CATCH) Scale and the scale from the “Just Like You” disability awareness intervention, before and after training. Results: Training improved attitude scores, and gains were retained at one-month follow-up. Conclusions: Disability awareness training that delivered relevant information by involving guest speakers with a disability, included documentary evidence about the lives of people with a disability, and included interactive discussion, was successful. CATCH and “Just Like You” are useful tools for measuring self-reported attitudes about disability. (Publisher abstract)
