Free document: For a child/youth with ID, DD, disability, or/and ASD who has experienced trauma. Some available information and tools for Mental Health providers

Hi.  I train a modified version of “The Road to Recovery: Supporting Children with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Who Have Experienced Trauma,” developed by the Hogg Foundation and the National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN).   And while there is a story behind their development, I have drafted two documents; one of which, is the attached.

“For a child/youth with ID, DD, disability, or/and ASD who has experienced trauma. Some available information and tools for Mental Health providers,” is a work in progress, but useable in the state it is in.  It was drafted with a dual purpose.

• To be made available to mental health providers as a stand-alone document.
• For caregivers and others to use, in conjunction with the other drafted document, “Contacting a Mental Health Provider: For children/youth with ID, DD, disability, or/and ASD who have experienced trauma.”  (At this time, that document requires some level of training/understanding for utilization.  I have attached pngs of it; and if you’re interested in the PDF, contact me.)

Hope this is of benefit.  And of course, while I already know things that can make it better, if you have information or/and tools that should be added, let’s connect.
