IDD Integration: Intellectual Disability/Intellectual Developmental Disorder and Assessment

Pittsburgh, PA US
May 25, 2022

The most recent changes to the DSM had a significant impact on how the mental health community sees Intellectual Disability/Intellectual Developmental Disorder (ID/IDD) which in turn affects treatment and clinical outcomes. Whereas Mental Retardation was seen as a static and life-long disability, the new DSM has re-shaped IDD to be a disability shaped by support and more dynamic in nature. This has also re-shaped the criteria on which IDD is diagnosed as well as the measures needed to determine the severity of the disability. The purpose of this training is to help attendees develop a clear understanding of these differences to better impact clinical utility of the diagnosis and help determine prognosis, treatment plans and better outcomes for members and clients serviced by the Health Plan.
