The Second Edition places emphasis on evidence-based practice, developing it as a key theme throughout the book and acknowledging its role in helping professionals and practitioners to provide high quality, personalised care for children and young people with intellectual disabilities who also have mental health care needs.

In addition to bringing the content fully up to date, the editors have commissioned experienced contributors from clinical psychology, psychiatry, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy and beyond to address topics including psychological assessment, psychopharmacological approaches, service provision, communication and transitioning to adult life. Together, they provide health and social care professionals with a sound knowledge base for shaping and enhancing their practice, along with the skills and confidence to improve the outcomes for these young people. Each chapter includes short case illustrations, examples of good practice, reflections on current practice, key learning points, references and key websites for further exploration
