Mental, Medical and Multiple Diagnoses: A Look into the Individualized Academic and Transition Plans for Common Comorbid Diagnoses
Overview

Eating Disorders present unique medical, cognitive and education challenges beyond the primary diagnosis that requires individualized learning approaches. Academic and transition plans must include unique accommodations that take into consideration the most common cognitive, medical and learning concerns of each patient. These common conditions require a structured, well-rounded plan to guide the whole care team, including the patient, family, home school and future treatment teams, during patient recovery within all levels of care.
