Now Archived: Substance Abuse in Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities
Tuesday, September 8, 20153:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. ET
Location: Webinar
Webinar Description:
Traditional chemical dependency models have been less than ideal for those with cognitive impairment and this session will examine why this is, and what is needed to change that. Our participants will help us (through audio/video/stories) describe the key strategies and points discovered in working with this population.
A Webinar from AUCD's Behavioral Health SIG
Presenter:
