TRAUMA-INFORMED SUPPORTS

Most adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, or IDD, have experienced trauma. The effects of trauma can last a lifetime. They can also contribute to challenging behaviors. In this course, you will learn how trauma affects people with IDD. You will also learn how you can support people who have experienced trauma.

The goal of this course is to introduce Direct Support Professionals, or DSPs, in IDD settings to trauma-informed support strategies.
