Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in Persons With Developmental Disabilities

This month we are providing a link to an article specifically addressing Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in people who also have developmental disabilities. Ruth Ryan, M.D. of The Community Circle presents an extensive clinical perspective on this disorder and how it is experienced by persons with developmental disabilities. Combining illustrative case examples and clinical research has resulted in this thoughtful and thought-provoking article.
