Description

Individuals with IDD are more likely to present with co-occurring behavioral health conditions. However, accurate assessment and diagnosis can be difficult if the impact of the individual’s IDD on the behavioral health presentation is not understood. Modified diagnostic considerations will be provided based upon the Diagnostic Manual for Intellectual Disabilities (NADD, 2016) along with other assessment adjustments to assure a comprehensive assessment can be completed and lead to successful treatment and recommendations for any comorbid referral issues.
