The Need for Focused Mental Health Treatment for Children with Development Disabilities by Ida A Chauvin* in Degenerative Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities_ Journal of Intellectual and Developmental Disability
Abstract
According
to the federal centers for Disease Control and Prevention, developmental
disabilities affect one in 7 children in the United States, with another
fifteen percent of American
children suffering from conditions such as autism and ADHD (2011). These
developmental disabilities often cooccur with mental health issues such as
anxiety and depression. There is a serious need for focused mental health treatment for the
developmentally disabled population and as well as training for clinicians who
work with this population. A brief look into providing services for this
population is provided
Introduction
Providing
focused mental health treatment to children with development disabilities
children with developmental disabilities present challenges for staff,
counselors, and all mental health professionals. Due to the heterogeneous nature
of the population with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD),
determining the rates of co morbidity with mental illness can be difficult.
Reviews of the literature Einfield [1], suggest that psychological disorder
rates in developmentally delayed children may range between 30 to 50%.
Disorders which may be co morbid with IDD include oppositional defiant disorder
Chritensen [2], disruptive behavior disorders Baker & Blacher [3],
attention deficit hyperactivity disorder Baker [4]. Unfortunately, research
regarding mental illness, psychopathology, and treatment in this population is
scant [5,6], despite the evidence suggesting that mental health issues cause
significant impairment in emotional, social, and educational realms of
functioning Soltau [7]. Having an unmet need for health or mental health
services has been related to negative outcomes for the child and family Lindley
