Description

People with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), including those with dual diagnosis or rare genetic conditions, face challenges accessing healthcare and participating in research. This session will identify factors associated with access to healthcare and discuss how to adapt standardized health measures. Because primary care physicians and specialists are often the gatekeepers of healthcare, the session will also share an innovative approach to the education of providers using online tools.
