Overview

This 45 min training is meant for clinicians who are assessing youth with intellectual and developmental disabilities, who may have experienced trauma. Developmental trauma may look like, mask or exacerbate other mental health conditions. This training should assist clinicians with differential diagnosis (differentiating between symptoms of trauma and stressor-related disorder (TSRD) and developmental differences such as ASD or ADHD). Dr. Fogler gives practical tips for supporting youth during assessment like normalizing symptoms, using a SUDs scale, empathetic listening, and containment if the patient appears overwhelmed in the moment.
