Name
C59 — Happy to Accomodate: Clinical Accommodations for Clients with Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities
Date & Time
Wednesday, October 19, 2022, 10:45 AM - 11:45 AM
Description

Due to the misconception that the disability is the principal concern, folks with Down syndrome and autism have traditionally been served by rehabilitation counselors (Smart et al., 2006). Thus professional counselors in other specialty areas struggle to serve the more than 2.5 million Americans with I/DD due to limited knowledge of development and treatment options (Smart et al., 2006; Maatta et al., 2006). This session will provide actionable suggestions and clinical interventions for counselors serving folks with a variety of intellectual/developmental disabilities.
