Abstract
This paper reports on the use of a problem-solving approach to intervention with 13 adult male sex offenders with an intellectual disability. This approach facilitates interventions which target the participant's internal control over offending behaviour as well as addressing the social and environmental context of the behaviour. Most participants were able to respond to strategies developed for the non-disabled offender. As a result of individual assessment and intervention most participants achieved more community access. Characteristics of the participants are described, issues related to intervention are discussed and suggestions for future research are given.
