Sometimes, we can all try so hard to avoid causing ourselves pain that we don't live our lives to the full - and people with intellectual disabilities are no different. Based on principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Living Your Best Life provides guided self-help materials for a person with intellectual disabilities to work through alongside a supporter such as a paid carer, family member or mental health professional. The tools and guidance help the individual identify what is important to them and move towards a life where worries and doubts do not stop them doing activities they enjoy or trying new things. Each chapter includes separate sections for supporters and for the person with intellectual disabilities (which can be read to them if necessary). The book also includes a wide range of exercises, graded by difficulty so as to be matched to an individual's specific abilities and challenges.

Adults with intellectual disabilities can often have their views and needs overlooked and are frequently not sufficiently involved in their own care or behaviour support plans. The central focus on values in ACT helps people identify what matters to them, allowing the practitioner to instead truly support the values-basedgoals of the individual with intellectual disability. This first-of-its kind guide adapts an ACT model to ensure a meaningful, person-centred therapeutic approach for this group.  From managing the lifelong impact of cognitive difficulties, having trouble regulating and understanding feelings, and experiencing distress from disability related trauma - this guide will help the practitioner adapt ACT for salient issues related to adult intellectual disability. With case studies, advice on session structure, and ideas for exercises, it contains a wealth of resources for practitioners, supporters and wider networks.
