Osmosis video - Caring for clients with developmental and intellectual disabilities

When caring for clients with developmental and intellectual disabilities, there are a few things to remember. Remember that each client is an individual with their own unique needs. Therefore, it is important to tailor your approach to working with each client based on their specific needs. Maintaining a respectful and professional attitude when working with clients with developmental and intellectual disabilities is also important. Allow them to be as independent as possible, and provide assistive devices when needed. Monitor and report any unusual changes that may be signs of underlying new problems. Also, maintain appropriate boundaries and not engage in any form of abuse.
