    Intellectual Disabilities

    To this day, there is no agreed upon definition of intelligence! There is a fascinating history of intelligence, intelligence testing, and the results of its changing meaning throughout psychology. How is it tested now and what do the results really mean? When you read a client's background or psychological report, do you understand the tests, the scores, the impact? Are you changing your practices based on the results? What are the social issues related to Intellectual Disabilities? How can we protect against abuse? How can we help empower and promote self-advocacy, dignity, appropriate employment? Learn all of these things, and more, in this 5 hour IBAO Micro-Credential course on Intellectual Disabilities.
