Individual Plan of Service (IPOS) Training
Person Centered Planning - Trauma Informed Support Coordination
With: Annette Downey, LMSW
Date: Thursday, July 30, 2026
Time: 9:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.
Location: Zoom Webinar
Course Description:
Trauma Informed Support Coordination will take previously learned principles of Trauma Informed Care training and apply them to assist Support Coordinators who provide support to individuals who experience Intellectual and Developmental Disability as their primary diagnosis. Whether it is the big traumas such as loss, abuse, and neglect, or smaller, more frequent traumas of isolation, bullying, and labeling, it is imperative for those entering a person's space to provide support that we presume that trauma exists and affects the way a person will encounter us. This training aims to strengthen clinicians' skills in recognizing and assessing traumatic experiences in a person's history, understanding how this history affects the person today, and, together with the person and their circle of support, developing and monitoring a plan that takes this into consideration. We recognize that every person's experience is unique and requires an individualized approach. This includes hope in resilience and the person's ability to heal and promote recovery from trauma.
1. Participants will be able to identify the "big" and "little" traumas that impact individuals experiencing intellectual and developmental disabilities.
2. Participants will be able to name 4 symptom areas of PTSD
3. Participants obtain tools to support a person when the person becomes triggered in order to calm the "emotional" brain and engage the "smart" brain.
4. Participants will be able to create a crisis plan that is proactive in nature and helps the person and their circle of support recognize and respond with the tools obtained.
