Description

This is a 3-part presentation to outline what we can do as a community to assess fall risk and reduce the prevalence of fall-related injuries in people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). We will review the most current research on fall prevention in IDD, share collaborative experiences in both rural and urban community settings and then discuss future needs and goals.
