Supporting Individuals With Intellectual And/or Developmental Disabilities In Trauma Recovery

People with disabilities are likely to experience some form of trauma during their lifetime. The effects and signs of these past experiences may be overlooked or untreated. This session will explore the types of traumatic events that are common and risk factors for people with IDD. Participants will learn strategies to support coping and recovery from trauma, including methods to enhance their own self-awareness and self-regulation skills.
