This training series was developed through a collaborative effort between New York-Presbyterian, Weill Cornell Medicine, and Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons. It was made possible through generous support from the WITH Foundation, whose commitment to advancing inclusive healthcare helped bring this project to life.
Trainings for adults with neurodevelopment disorders
People with neurodevelopmental disabilities (NDD) often face significant barriers in hospital settings — from misdiagnosis and communication challenges to overmedication and extended stays. This on-demand, self-paced training series, designed for multidisciplinary hospital teams — including physicians, nurses, mental health workers, and more — empowers clinicians to deliver respectful, evidence-based care tailored to patients with NDD. In addition to video-based learning, you’ll find a resource hub with downloadable tools and templates ready for immediate use in clinical practice. By building clinical confidence and improving care practices, we aim to reduce disparities and ensure every patient receives the dignity and support they deserve.
The Topics include:
- Common Medical Conditions Affecting NDD Patients
- Management of Agitation In the Hospital Setting
- Behavioral Approaches to Support Care of NDD Patients
