Description

The rate of co-occurring mental health disorders in people with ID/DD ranges from 30%-50%, yet most mental health practitioners have little to no training related to working with people with ID/DD. In this self-paced course we'll discuss the intersection of IDD and mental health, explore topics of cultural consideration related to people with ID/DD, and examine evidence-based practices related to serving people with ID/DD.
