Descripción
Resumen:	PurposeThe purpose of this paper was to investigate the utility of including emotional development (ED) assessment into a Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) approach in clinical practice with a patient with an intellectual disability (ID) and challenging behaviour.Design/methodology/approachInterviews were conducted with four staff involved in the care of the patient. The interviews were transcribed and analysed using thematic analysis and three reflective sessions were completed with the lead psychologist of the service.FindingsUsing thematic analysis, four themes were identified: getting everyone around the table: a collaborative approach, complementary approaches: a feedback loop, helping to make sense of the individual and ensuring a voice for service users.Research limitations/implicationsThis was a case study selected from routine clinical practice and as such generalisability may be limited. This case study was designed as an exploration of the potential benefits of incorporating ED alongside PBS for ID and provides a basis for future research.Practical implicationsThis study highlights the value of integration of ED assessment for people with ID and challenging behaviour within a healthcare team.Originality/valueThere is a lack of literature relating to ED and challenging behaviour within an ID population, particularly exploring ED within a PBS framework. This study provides a starting point for exploring how practice can be improved through incorporating ED assessment for individuals with ID and challenging behaviour.
