✦ Synopsis

Summary

The pervasive use of ‘challenging behaviour’ as an explanatory concept has precluded the development of alternative ways of construing the actions of people with learning disabilities. Moreover, possession of a challenging behaviour label has facilitated the segregation of individuals into specialist service provision. The present case study illustrates how an inclusive account can be developed using concepts from mainstream psychological activity. The development of alternative accounts also has implications for the design of interventions. It is argued that the process of developing alternative accounts may ultimately result in the redundancy of ‘challenging behaviour’ as an explanatory concept.
