Course Description:
This course will examine developmental disabilities and their relationship to mental health processes. Students will be introduced to well-known disabilities (eg. Autism, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy), as well as lesser-known disabilities (e.g. Rhett Syndrome, Fragile X Syndrome) and discuss how these disabilities affect psychological outcomes. Common psychological comorbidities found with these disabilities will be discussed, and students will learn about the challenges associated with psychological treatments for individuals with disabilities. |
