This training will identify and understand the social, cognitive, and environmental risk factors that increase the likelihood of criminal offending in individuals with neurodevelopmental disabilities and how these conditions impact behavior, decision-making, impulse control, and emotional regulation.
Participants will gain an understanding of evidence-based intervention strategies aimed at rehabilitation and reducing recidivism while also reflecting on the ethical considerations of working with this population in criminal justice contexts, with a focus on person-centered approaches.
This training is intended for early career workers with a minimum of a bachelor's level qualification in a discipline such as psychology, nursing, social work, or counseling. Working in settings with forensic clients, including the community, hospitals, residential services, and custodial settings. The target is broad as the prevalence of developmental or cognitive impairments across all settings is high, meaning the topic is relevant to all working with forensic populations.
