Project Description:

With funding from the NJ Council on Developmental Disabilities, The Boggs Center is developing and implementing tiered curricular modules, to provide medical professionals with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to appropriately care for patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) in adult healthcare settings. Two sets of tiered curricular modules will be developed: one will provide an introduction to medical care and clinical considerations in treating adult patients with I/DD, the other will focus on managing challenging behaviors and creating sensory-friendly treatment environments. Each module will contain three distinct components, including a Grand Rounds presentation, a case conference presentation, and a self-advocate/family panel presentation.
