In this study, our goal was to identify underlying patterns of early risk factors in youth with high-incidence disabilities (HID). We also investigated the association between identified patterns of early risk factors and juvenile justice outcomes. Due to the relative invisibility of HID, the behavioral challenges of youth with HID can be misinterpreted as disobedience or deviance. Notably, HID are identified as the most common special education diagnosis for youth involved in the juvenile justice system.

Welcome to The Practice Space, where we will meet at the intersection of meditation and clinical practices to explore ideas and skills that will help to support us in our professional practice.
