Product Description:

Children with a neurodevelopmental disability and comorbid/co-occurring mental illness are often referred to as having a dual diagnosis. Research shows that 33-50% of children with neurodevelopmental disabilities have dual diagnosis. Those with dual diagnosis benefit from mental health treatment such as therapy. However, with so many types of therapy it can be difficult for parents to know which is best suited to address their childs concerns and how to find a therapist.
