Consultation Service
NADD, through its large network of resources, can provide expert
consultation on any of the issues mentioned above. Well known
authorities in the field will meet with representatives from your
organization to help with the analysis and solutions to your problems.
The field of dual diagnosis is not static and new knowledge is
shaping the configuration of appropriate services and supports.
It would be wise to learn from authorities who have already addressed
the issues and problems you may be encountering. Experience and a
proven track record can provide you with the results you want.
Training
A knowledgeable staff, at all levels, is essential to providing
quality services. Professional staff such as nurses, physicians,
psychiatrists, psychologists and social workers need to be armed with
a wealth of knowledge concerning various aspects of mental health
issues in persons who have developmental disabilities. This is also
true for direct care staff as well as families. NADD can provide
training to meet the needs of your staff.
NADD has 15 years of experience in providing training. We can assist
in your consultation and/or training needs. NADD has access to
experts from around the world to address any of the above listed
areas. For more information contact NADD Executive Director, Dr.

Positive Identity Development
Author: Karyn Harvey, PhD
Positive Identity Development is an exciting new approach to
treatment for individuals with intellectual disabilities. This
book provides a new theoretical perspective on treatment along with a
variety of innovative tools. It rejects reducing adults with
intellectual disabilities to a mere compilation of their behaviors
and promotes the use of a positive, therapeutic approach to each
unique individual. Psychologists, social workers and therapists
should be able to use the tools presented in this book to directly
enhance the effectiveness of the treatment they provide to adults
with intellectual disabilities. This book promotes well-being on
every level and explores a broad range of issues relevant to the life
and mental health of adults with intellectual disabilities
