Product Description:

People who have intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and live in rural areas often have a hard time finding the help they need to be healthy and make their lives better. Researchers found that whether these people lived in small towns or a big city, they faced the same problems. More research is needed to understand this issue more and focus on giving people with disabilities what they need to make their lives better, whether they live in rural communities or in the city.
