Résumé
In order to enhance the quality of life of individuals with disabilities, service action policies are currently based on supports or training paradigms, as well as on person-centered models. However, one of the biggest challenges in providing quality service is to respond to those with behavioral problems. A behavioral problem is often a source of frustration, confusion and stress for families and professionals who often feel overwhelmed when trying to explain why they occur, and especially when trying to modify them without success. Because of the consequences of these behaviors, efforts are often directed to solving them as quickly as possible, even though it is not the most effective way to deal with it. When these behaviors occur in residential services it may be an indicator of the need to improve the quality of life of the individual, and an indication that the model is focused on service rather than the individual. Analyzing the prevalence of problematic behaviors and the surrounding circunstances will allow reflection on the strategies being used and, in turn, on planning resources and improving professional practices. The paper presents the analysis of different residential services for people with intellectual disabilities and the implications for service delivery and service change.
