Understanding the Pain Behaviors of Nonverbal Children with Intellectual Disability by Jean Solodiuk

Explore approaches to recognizing and assessing pain in children with intellectual disability in this 37-minute video presentation. Learn to define and measure pain individually, collaborate with caregivers for effective pain management, and apply these principles through case examples. Gain insights into the complexities of pain experiences in this patient population, develop strategies for describing pain behaviors and severity in medically complex patients, and involve caregivers in assessment and management. The presentation covers topics such as behavior interpretation, pain assessment scales, and pain in children with medical complexity, supplemented by two detailed case studies. Reference key scientific articles on vertebrate ichnopathology, pain mechanisms, and differential diagnosis algorithms for children with medical complexity.
