Event Description
Presenter's: Craig Escude, MD and Ley Linder, BCBA
Based on the popular Helen Journal series, this webinar will describe an interdisciplinary approach to understanding and managing behaviors based on underlying undiagnosed medical conditions.
An interdisciplinary approach can unlock the meaning behind behavioral challenges in people who have limited ability to communicate using words. Insights from a physician specializing in IDD and a behavior analyst specializing in IDD and dementia will be shared using real life case studies to illustrate how underlying medical conditions can manifest as behavioral challenges.

Ley’s specialties include behavioral gerontology and the behavioral presentations of neurocognitive disorders, in addition to working with high-management behavioral needs for dually diagnosed persons. He works closely with organizations such as the National Down Syndrome Society and the National Task Group on Intellectual Disabilities and Dementia Practices, and is the Founder/CEO of Crescent Behavioral Health Services based in Columbia, SC. Ley is the proud recipient of the 2024 AADMD Excellence in IDD Journalism Award for co-authoring the ongoing series “Unlocking Behaviors” in HELEN: The Journal of Human Exceptionality. Ley is also an NTG Affiliated Regional Trainer.
