Project Description:

The goal of a needs assessment is to help identify current gaps and needs in Telehealth services for the intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) population in the United States. Particularly to inform training and educational efforts to increase capacity in the interdisciplinary workforce that serves this population. For this reason, it is vital to have input at every step of the development process of the curriculum from individuals with lived experience. This should be implemented at inception of the grant through a needs assessment. Experienced individuals will include a person with IDD or a family member who goes to a family doctor, health center, or program(s) with individuals with IDD and/or healthcare providers who have cared for individuals with IDD and their families.
