Welcome to Pesky gNATsID
Making accessible mainstream computerised mental health interventions for adults with intellectual disability.
Pesky gNATs-ID offers two computer based psychological interventions, designed for mental health professionals to deliver to adults with intellectual disabilities:
Feel Good Island: a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) intervention for adults with an intellectual disability in the ‘mild’ or ‘moderate’ range.
Mindful Island: a mindfulness intervention for adults with intellectual disabilities
At Pesky gNATs-ID we have used our understanding of developmental psychology, clinical psychology and computer science to tackle the problem of translating the ideas of CBT and mindfulness into something that is accessible to adults with intellectual disabilities.
The games are supported by printable workbooks and training videos for mental health professionals. You will find all the information and resources you need on this website.
The interventions are currently only available to mental health professionals in Ireland and the UK.
