Participants will understand what stress is and how the brain responds in stressful situations. They will receive information about what causes stress both for the child with intellectual and developmental disabilities and for the child’s family and how stress can be managed. 

The course is useful both for parents or family members of persons with disabilities (PWD) and teachers working with PWD – be them their students or their students’ parents. 

The course is based on the materials developed in the ELPIDA project. For further information, visit the project website: https://www.elpida-project.eu
