Best Practices to Provide Integrated Care for Children with Serious Emotional Disturbance (SED) & Neurodevelopmental Needs

Join the Center of Excellence for Integrated Health Solutions on Monday, May 18, 1-2:30 p.m. ET, for a dynamic webinar on integrated care strategies to strengthen community‑based services for children with co‑occurring serious emotional disturbance and neurodevelopmental needs. This session will explore how children’s behavior serves as communication, how to work effectively across complex systems of care, and how to deliver coordinated, high‑quality treatment within bidirectional primary and behavioral health care integration settings.

Featured expert speakers will include Stacy L. Nonnemacher, PhD, director of cross‑system strategies at the National Association for State Directors of Developmental Disabilities Services; Nancy Thaler, MS, project lead at The Link Center; and Tyrome Launderville, steering committee member at The Link Center.

This webinar is ideal for providers, mental health providers, governmental employees, educators and researchers seeking practical insights to enhance collaboration, improve outcomes and better support children and families.

After this session, participants will be able to:

• Understand how the behavior of children with neurodevelopmental disorders serves as communication.
• See the value of an integrated, multisystem service approach to effectively address and increase health care access.
• Use tools, tips and strategies to effectively provide treatment for physical and mental health conditions.
• Describe how to promote opportunities for emotional growth and social engagement in integrated care settings.
