The purpose of this comprehensive manual is to empower practitioners to impart essential skills training to individuals with mild to borderline intellectual disabilities who struggle with effectively managing and regulating their emotions, thereby impacting their lives and relationships. The potential beneficiaries of such training may reside in community settings, residential environments, or secure settings. To ensure its relevance and effectiveness, the new edition has been extensively revised and updated to incorporate innovative adapted skills tailored specifically for the intellectual disability population, following the publication of the second edition of Marsha Linehan's renowned DBT Skills Training Manual and DBT Skills Training Handouts and Worksheets.

The training manual offers valuable guidance on staff training, program evaluation, and additional resources encompassing mindfulness exercises, guided imagery, role plays, and composite characters, aimed at enhancing the facilitation of group sessions. These resources are conveniently available in both hard copy and online formats, including comprehensive learner handouts featuring newly revised and updated worksheets, forms, and printable resources. While the program is primarily designed for group delivery, it can also be adapted for individual intervention to meet the unique needs of individuals.
