ALM: Developmental Disorders in Young People
This ALM forms the third part of the three-module headspace Clinical Training syllabus.
This activity seeks to educate health professionals on issues surrounding the identification and support of young people with developmental disabilities, along with their mental health care. Utilising a number of case studies, ways of offering the best possible evidence-based care for young people in an effective and inclusive manner are explored.
This ALM consists of four sequential parts. Each part will take approximately one and a half hours to complete.
