This presentation will begin by defining Type I and Type II diabetes, the risk factors and highlight the socio-emotional challenges that children and their families experience. Diabetic children often present with very challenging behaviors due to the inability to accept and cope with the daily monitoring and dietary changes and accommodations that are needed. Together we will share experiences and discuss possible solutions confronted in the school, home and communities. There is no cost for attending this webinar. 1.5 CE hours are provided to mental health providers and social workers and any other discipline that qualifies at no cost.
