Adults with intellectual developmental disabilities (IDD), such as autism and Down Syndrome, are not only more susceptible to COVID-19 but have also been facing more significant physical and mental health challenges during the pandemic. Bringing together front-line clinicians caring for people with IDD and researchers from a range of disciplines and medical specialties, this webinar series will focus on what has been learnt about this group in relation to COVID-19, the practical implications of their health, and how to move forward. 

Register to join the University of Toronto Faculty of Medicine for the second webinar of this series on Tuesday, July 14, 2020 from 1200-1330 hours EDT. Expert speakers will address mental health research and practice related to people with IDD, as well as offer resources and practice tips.

Good morning, I had registered for this event but wasn't able to attend at the last minute. Is there any way to get a link to the recorded event so that I can still watch it?

Thank you
