DT12-1230C Update on Complementary and Alternative Medical Treatments for Individuals with Developmental Disabilities Jarrett Barnhill, MD, DFAPA, FAACAP, NADD-CC, Univ. of NC, Dept of Psychiatry, Chapel Hill, NC
In recent years advances in the neurosciences suggest a more complex view of behavioral and neuropsychiatric disorders among individuals with developmental disabilities. For many, traditional psychopharmacology raise the specter of untoward side effects or treatment nonresponse. Families frequentlyu turn to alternative treatments as a solution. Unfortunately these decisions are made without an awareness of contradictory scientific evidence or potential complicatins when combined with psychotropics and other medical treatments. This presentation focuses on omega-3 fatty acids, melatonin, and a more recent addition, n-acetly cysteine, in treatment.

Ready for the Future

Baltimore, MD
“The NADD competency-based clinical certification has provided me with an avenue to verify a dual diagnosis specialty. My ability to provide clinical supports to individuals supported both by medical assistance and private insurances has been expanded by allowing me to gain access to closed insurance networks. These networks had been closed to me prior to receiving this certification, allowing this population to remain largely unserved outside of community mental health centers.”
Alyse Kerr, MS, NCC, LPC, NADD-CC
