Texas Tech University's Virginia Murray Sowell Center for Research and Education in Sensory Disabilities is implementing Project TEDD: Training Educators in Dual Diagnosis, an initiative to address a state need for K-12 educators who specialize in teaching students who have a dual diagnosis of an intellectual and developmental disability and a mental health condition. Developmental disabilities are severe, chronic disabilities that occur before the age of 22, such as autism, cerebral palsy, intellectual disabilities, traumatic brain injury, and epilepsy.
Presenter will review the Project, and provide additional information on upcoming training opportunities.
