Description
This self-paced online course offers an overview of the specifics and means of communication with people with some of the most common intellectual and psychosocial conditions - intellectual disabilities, learning disabilities, autism, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders and schizophrenia - that put the affected people in a vulnerable position in the criminal proceedings.
It also allows for checking the obtained knowledge by passing a quiz at the end of every section. At the end, learners have the opportunity to practically apply what they have learned in a game-type investigation of cases.
After logging in, learners can choose to take the course in English, Bulgarian, Greek, French or Italian.
