22nd Annual Developmental Disabilities: An Update for Health Professionals
Activity Details
Activity Name: 22nd Annual Developmental Disabilities: An Update for Health Professionals
Needs Assessment: This interdisciplinary conference offers an update for clinicians who care for children, youth, and adults with developmental disabilities and complex health care needs.

Our expert faculty will address topics of interest to pediatricians, family physicians, nurse clinicians, psychologists, internists and others who are involved in the health care of children and adults with developmental disabilities. This year?s conference features discussions on conservatorship reform, trauma informed care, mental health supports, deprescribing antipsychotic medications, and emergency planning to adapt to climate change. While the conference is designed and accredited for health care professionals, we welcome families and individuals with developmental disabilities to also attend.

This activity is developed by a community planning and advisory committee made up of self-advocates and representatives from the following agencies: UCSF, Stanford University, The Arc San Francisco, Golden Gate Regional Center, East Bay Regional Center, State Council on Developmental Disabilities, Support for Families, WITH Foundation, the San Francisco Department of Public Health, and the California Department of Developmental Services.
