Adaptive Strategies: Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Adaptive Strategies Video Series

People experiencing altered brain functioning—whether developmental (I/DD, autism) or acquired (brain injury) face a higher prevalence of co-occurring behavioral and physical health issues. Research indicates these individuals respond well to standard evidence-based interventions when cognitive adaptations are applied. This collection highlights specific interventions and the modifications necessary to make them accessible. We encourage clinicians and community members to share these tools to help close the gap in care.
