The goal of this program is to see that all students who have emotional, behavioral, social, and cognitive problems are supported and strengthened by encouraging school environments.
In even the best of schools, youngsters with moderate to severe behavioral challenges require special accommodations to help them succeed. In an effort to help schools meet these challenges, the Educational Services Department of the University of Iowa’s Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Service created or collected explanations of the disorders, their treatment, and what it means to the child, school, and family.
Training packages are collections of print video, and audio materials that are updated regularly to keep the information current.
Current training packages include:
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (Fall 2007)
