PurposeThis paper aims to explore treatment implications of the self‐regulation model (SRM) for sexual offenders with an intellectual disability in an effort to provide practical applications that could be employed in treatment.Design/methodology/approachThe SRM of sexual offending proposes that difficulties in self‐regulation may lead to an increased risk of sexual offending; describing four potential pathways to sexual offending that are based on self‐regulation style and offence‐related goals. Research has focussed on the application and implications of this theoretical model for mainstream sexual offenders. However, more recently, there has been an increasing interest into the application and treatment implications for the SRM for sexual offenders with an intellectual disability. This paper reviews literature on both the SRM and related work on offenders with intellectual disability.FindingsThe evidence reviewed supports the notion that the SRM is a valid theoretical model on which to base treatment programmes for people with intellectual disabilities and specific recommendations are made for the design of treatment programmes with this client group.Originality/valueIt is suggested that this model should be used when devising intervention programmes for people with intellectual disabilities in the future.

“…There are some UK prisons which are running Adapted SOTP programmes (ASOTP), designed for men with lower ability, including intellectual disabilities (Rogers & Fairbanks 2003). In the research literature, there have also been sporadic reports of programmes or elements of programmes adapted for men with intellectual disabilities, but most studies have evaluated small samples of men either in the UK (Charman & Clare 1992;Lindsay & Smith 1998;Lindsay et al 1998a,b,c;Rose et al 2002;Craig et al 2006;Garrett 2006) or elsewhere (Griffiths et al 1989;Haaven et al 1990;Swanson & Garwick 1990;O'Connor 1996;-Nezu et al 1998;Keeling et al 2006). Only a few studies had relatively larger samples:…”
