Idiosyncratic and Typical Pain Behaviors in IDD

Individuals with an intellectual or developmental disorder may display idiosyncratic and typical pain behaviors when they are not experiencing pain. This can make it difficult for caregivers to decipher if the individual is experiencing pain. Examples of these behaviors include moaning, self injury, and facial changes.
