Children's Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities

ID: 3034WEB

A growing body of evidence suggests that youth with Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities (IDD) are at significantly higher risk of developing mental illness than other peers. Diagnosing and treating children and teens with IDD can be more difficult than diagnosing adults and/or neurotypical peers. In addition, there are a variety of services frequently provided these children, including disability supports and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) in addition to clinical treatment. This seminar will review services commonly offered to youth dually diagnosed with IDD and mental illness, discuss strategies to adapt treatment to meet the needs of this population, and provide an overview of integrating these services through case illustrations [Elective for Child/Adolescent Mental Health or Developmental Disabilities Certificate Program]

Starting Out: From Diagnosis to Early Childhood

ID: 3008WEB

Formerly titled: Starting out: From Diagnosis to Early Childhood. Involvement with service systems for individuals with developmental disabilities begins for some families when their children are infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. Families' experiences with early intervention and early childhood special education services set the tone for their participation with service systems throughout their children's age span. In this webinar, participants will be presented with an overview of New Jersey's Early Intervention and Early Childhood Special Education Systems, including the process of identification and referral, evaluation, program planning, delivery of services, and transition. The roles of social workers and the rights of families under each system will also be highlighted. [Required for Developmental Disabilities Certificate Program]

The Realities of Growing Old Together for Adults with Developmental Disabilities and their Caregivers

ID: 3009WEB

Formerly titled: Growing Old Together: Aging and Family Caregiving. Families have always been the primary caregivers for individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (I/DD) throughout their lives. In the U.S. today, over 75% of adults with I/DD live with their families: this means there are nearly one million households in which an adult with I/DD is living with a caregiver/caregivers over the age of 60. While we will look at generalities of age-related changes in people with IDD, particular attention will be paid in this webinar to the cumulative impact of a shared aging trajectory between many adults with I/DD, their family members, and the workforce of paid caregivers.
