Introduction to the contemporary evidence-based assessment and intervention of sexual offending (or inappropriate sexual behaviours) by adults, youth and children (7+) with intellectual disability and/or developmental disorders.

The workshop will cover:

• Evidence base of what does not work and why we have recently ceased previous assessments and interventions used widely in the community and corrections.
• The contemporary evidence-based models with better outcomes being used internationally and recently introduced in Australia.
