Developmental Or Neurocognitive Disorder Presentation

You have been asked to present information on a developmental disorder in a faculty meeting at an elementary school. The principal has asked that you create a PowerPoint to be presented in the meeting as well as a handout that highlights some main points from your presentation that can be passed out to the teachers.

Develop a 12-15-slide PowerPoint with information on one developmental disorder that you selected. Provide information about the disorder as well as information that may be beneficial to teachers working with a child diagnosed with the disorder.

Develop a complementary handout that includes additional resources that teachers could reference for more information or support.

Use three to five scholarly sources to support your finding, with an additional five resources on for the handout.

Include speaker notes below each slide. Expand upon the information included in the slide. Please ensure the speaker notes for each content-related slide include a minimum of 50 words.
