Project Description:

The Adult Neurodevelopmental Wellness (ANeW) Project aims to support justice-involved adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) by restoring them to their communities after arrest. This initiative addresses a significant gap in health equity and the provision of legally entitled services to a particularly vulnerable population. Objectives: Interdisciplinary Program: Establish a program that integrates various professional supports to help restore adults with IDD to their communities. Legislative Insight: Provide the Washington state legislature with a comprehensive understanding of the issues and recommendations to reduce the recurrence of these situations in the future. Feasibility and Efficacy Study: Assess the feasibility and effectiveness of providing stabilization and support services through an interdisciplinary approach in crisis situations.
