Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Persons with IDD
Hours: 1.75
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is among the most effective psychotherapy approaches for a wide range of presenting problems. Because of its focus on internal thoughts and feelings and ways to enhance interpersonal effectiveness, it humanizes individuals with IDD in ways that traditional interventions for the population have not. Through vignettes and examples, therapists will acquire basic skills to modify and apply CBT for the treatment of behavioral health concerns in adult clients with IDD.
The goal of this course is to provide marriage and family therapists, professional counselors, psychologists, and social workers in health and human services settings with information and tools to provide CBT treatment effective for individuals with IDD. This course assumes the learner has general knowledge of CBT theory and techniques.
