Dual Disability
In this video we discuss what dual disability is and what to know as a mental health enrolled nurse. We look into the relationship between intellectual disability, autistic spectrum disorder, and mental health as well as some possible barriers to access and the importance of effective communication, and why working with family and carers is important. At the end of this presentation, you will be provided with resources for further skill development on dual disability.
