JEAN MANKOWSKI, PHD; Clinical Assistant Professor, UNC-Chapel Hill, Carolina Institute for Developmental Disabilities
Statistics show individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (I/DD) at much higher risk of abuse, neglect, violence, and trauma than typically developing children and adolescents. During this session participants will develop a better understanding of types of trauma and how trauma manifests in I/DD. We will review the complex nuances of trauma assessment in individuals with I/DDs including the screening process and when to refer for a professional evaluation. We will consider evidence-based practices to address trauma response and behavioral health needs in individuals with I/DDs from early childhood through adolescence.
