Course Description

This presentation provides an interdisciplinary framework for supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) who are experiencing grief and bereavement. Drawing on research demonstrating the long-term behavioral and emotional impact of loss on individuals with IDD, the presenters highlight how grief is frequently overlooked or misattributed in this population. The session features perspectives from both a behavior analyst and a licensed mental health counselor, modeling the type of interdisciplinary collaboration needed to address grief comprehensively.
