These sessions are free for all registered conference attendees. See the below description of this session and its presenters.
Navigating Change in Supporting Individuals and their Caregivers as they Age
Participate in an interactive Q&A style moderated panel of experts who will discuss how to respond to the changing needs of individuals with IDD as they age including: the importance of supports for their caregivers (who may be aging themselves), how technology can be utilized to enhance supports, and how the Administration for Community Living is working to bridge aging and disability services. Following the panel discussion, attendees will participate in round table discussions to share information and ideas about what is happening in their state and at a federal level.
