“…11 Exposure to life events, for example, increases the risk of psychopathology; environmental responses, such as reinforcement and punishment, may act as maintaining factors of these behaviors. 12 When considering epilepsy variables in the etiology of behavioral disorder, the role of factors such as seizure frequency, peri-ictal events, and antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) has been examined. The impact of AEDs is covered later in this report.…”

Behavioral disorder in people with an intellectual disability and epilepsy: A report of the Intellectual Disability Task Force of the Neuropsychiatric Commission of ILAE

et al. 2016

SummaryThe management and needs of people with intellectual disability (ID) and epilepsy are well evidenced; less so, the comorbidity of behavioral disorder in this population. “Behavioral disorder” is defined as behaviors that are difficult or disruptive, including stereotypes, difficult or disruptive behavior, aggressive behavior toward other people, behaviors that lead to injury to self or others, and destruction of property. These have an important link to emotional disturbance. This report, produced by the Intellectual Disability Task Force of the Neuropsychiatric Commission of the ILAE, aims to provide a brief review of some key areas of concern regarding behavioral disorder among this population and proposes a range of research and clinical practice recommendations generated by task force members. The areas covered in this report were identified by experts in the field as being of specific relevance to the broad epilepsy community when considering behavioral disorder in persons with epilepsy and ID; they are not intended to be exhaustive. The practice recommendations are based on the authors’ review of the limited research in this field combined with their experience supporting this population. These points are not graded but can be seen as expert opinion guiding future research and clinical practice.

“…When alternative reinforcement is removed via extinction of the alternative response, resurgence of the target response often occurs. Alternative reinforcement is an important aspect of many behavioral interventions (e.g., Lloyd & Kennedy, 2014; Petscher et al, 2009; DeFulio et al, 2009). Therefore, empirical work that tests potential predictors of resurgence is important to pursue.…”

Resurgence, relapse induced by the removal of alternative reinforcement, and renewal, relapse induced by a change in contextual stimuli, are typically studied separately in operant conditioning paradigms. In analogous treatments of operant problem behavior, aspects of both relapse phenomena can operate simultaneously. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine a novel method for studying resurgence and renewal in the same experimental preparation. An alternative source of reinforcement was available during extinction for one group of rats (a typical resurgence preparation). Another group experienced an operant renewal preparation in which the extinction context was distinguished via olfactory and visual stimuli. A third group experienced alternative reinforcement delivery in the new context, a novel combination of typical resurgence and renewal preparations. Removal of alternative reinforcement and/or a change in context induced relapse, relative to an extinction-only control group. When alternative reinforcement was delivered in a novel context, the alternative response was less persistent relative to when extinction of the alternative response took place in the context in which it was trained. This methodology might be used to illustrate shared (or distinct) mechanisms of resurgence and renewal, and to determine how delivering alternative reinforcement in another context may affect persistence and relapse.

“…General practitioners and psychiatrists, tend to under diagnose mental health disorders in people with ID mainly due to speech disorders resulting in communication difficulties [2]. When presenting with mental illness, patients are at risk of being included in a special needs education programme with a consequent downgrade in their psychosocial, cognitive and motor skills [1,[9][10][11]. This report, describes the case of an 18-year-old man with ID and an eventual comorbid psychiatric condition.…”

“…This association is more effective than antipsychotic polimedication. Review studies support that multi component intervention strategies are more efficient than single component ones for the treatment of challenging behavior [9,10]. Behavior interventions can reduce 80-90% of behavior changes [1].…”
