Supporting the Health Self-Management Needs of Youth with Disabilities
Prof. Seth Warschausky, Pediatric Rehabilitation Psychologist at UM's PM&R
Young people with disabilities often have to manage more complex health needs than their typically developing peers. Physical and cognitive impairments can affect the ability to learn and execute self-management tasks and then there is the central issue of motivation for health self-management. This talk, based on recent research, focuses on what we know about motivation and cognition in health self-management and the implications for successful transition to optimal independence.
