CTAC EVENT – Considerations for Youth with Mental Health and Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Diagnoses
April 23 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm
Location: Zoom
Children and youth with mental health conditions can present with co-occurring intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) that often go underexplored and unaddressed. Promotion of the overall wellbeing of youth and their mental health must include systematic considerations of co-occurring intellectual and developmental disabilities. This presentation will provide an overview of co-occurring mental health conditions in children and youth.
By the end of the presentation, attendees should be able to:
- Discuss specific symptom presentations of intellectual and developmental disabilities
- Identify both mental health and intellectual and developmental disabilities risk and protective factors; and
- Understand considerations and adaptations for assessment and intervention for co-occurring conditions.
