About this course
The number of persons diagnosed with intellectual and developmental disorders (IDD) is steadily increasing, largely due to the rising notoriety of Autism Spectrum Disorders, which fall within the IDD category. There are many maladaptive behaviors associated with IDDs that are routinely treated with evidence-based behavior management techniques. Additionally, the families of persons diagnosed with IDD likely benefit from Family Therapy methods. The purpose of this course is to provide practitioners an understanding of how these 2 modalities, along with psychoeducation, can prove beneficial within this population. After reviewing basic defintions, in-depth, practical applications of evidenced-based behavior management, psychoeducation, and family therapy techniques for families dealing with intellectual and developmental disorders are presented.
