Supporting Students with Intellectual Disability- with Dr. Layla Hall

Dr. Hall is a Clinical Psychologist in Supervised Practice at Surrey Place. She provides counselling, assessment, and consultation services to children and adults with developmental disabilities, and their families, in the city of Toronto, as well as in Indigenous communities in Northern Ontario.

This presentation will provide an in-depth discussion of intellectual disability, including its prevalence, causes, and diagnostic traits. We will identify the ways traits of intellectual disability can present in the school setting and explore specific strategies to support areas of challenge. Finally, we will review signs to look for that might suggest a student has an intellectual disability, and what to do if you suspect an intellectual disability.

(This PD session with Dr. Hall is the second of six sessions and is open to everyone!)
