Individuals with IDD exhibiting challenging behaviors often do not receive state-of-the-art mental health treatment and instead, the focus is often on compliance and behavior management. The goal of this webinar is to increase the awareness of the impact of trauma on children with IDD and to promote the provision of trauma-informed care for children with IDD and co-occurring mental health conditions. The National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) and the Hogg Foundation for Mental Health partnered to develop a training toolkit, The Road to Recovery: Supporting Children with IDD Who Have Experienced Trauma. This webinar will introduce participants to the unmet mental health needs of children who have experienced trauma, the value of trauma-informed care, and the new toolkit developed by NCTSN.=0D=0A=0D=0AA Webinar from AUCD's Mental Health Aspects of I/DD Special Interest Group (I/DD SIG)=0D=0A=0D=0A =0D=0A=0D=0APresenter:=0D=0A=0D=0ASusan Ko, Ph.D., is a licensed clinical psychologist and Co-Managing Director at the National Center for Child Traumatic Stress.
