My Child Has an Intellectual Disability and Suspected Mental Health Issues – Help! Sandy

This workshop will examine some of the signs and symptoms a parent or educator could look for in helping identify when a child or adolescent with an intellectual disability might also be dealing with dual diagnosis or coexisting mental health issue. Seeking professional diagnosis and finding appropriate treatment options and providers will also be discussed.  Tools for helping a child with a dual diagnosis succeed in their educational setting will be reviewed.
