Given the high prevalence of ASD, it is important for individuals in education to understand more about the disorder, as well as the mental health conditions that often present comorbidly. This training will provide education related to mental health disorders that frequently affect individuals diagnosed with ASD, as well as corresponding treatment interventions
Participants will:
Learn about ASD and the mental health disorders that often present comorbidly
Learn strategies to assess for mental health disorders and ASD
Learn treatment interventions to utilize when working with students who have both ASD and a mental health disorder
Presenter: Kristin N. Moore, Psy.D., Clinical Psychologist (in partnership w/ the Diagnostic Center North; held jointly with SE SELPA)
