Join us to get an important update on complex learning disabilities. We'll describe psychological and psychiatric management strategies used in complex ADHD and mood and psychotic disorders, which are all key problematic clinical areas seen in behavioural phenotype disorders. All delegates will be invited to engage in a panel discussion to develop the themes raised by leaders in their field.
The morning section of the event will provide professionals and carers who work with patients and clients with complex learning disabilities with an update on the evidence-based clinical management of three recognised behavioural phenotype disorders, namely Fragile X syndrome, Down syndrome and tuberous sclerosis.
In the afternoon, the management of patients with complex learning disabilities will be further explored within a human rights-based framework. Attendees will acknowledge and debate the multiple Human Rights issues in the management of this vulnerable intellectual disability population.
