Training
Behavior is a form of communication. Adverse behaviors in people with IDD are often a way of communicating underlying pain or emotional discomfort and require a thorough evaluation for treatable underlying causes before starting a person on medication or behavior support plans to reduce the actions. This presentation will use real-life case studies to illustrate different groups of behaviors that can point to specific underlying, treatable medical causes that can improve the health, wellness, and quality of life in people you support.
