This webinar is designed for social workers, case managers, care coordinators, nurses, caregivers and other senior care professionals.
Join us for a one-hour webinar that bridges the fields of aging and disability. Using a life-course model of aging well with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), this presentation focuses on the needs and challenges of adults with IDD, the social-environmental context of their lives, and strategies to improve and promote healthy aging. The discussion provides examples of family support, environmental and technological interventions, and a family-centered approach to future planning.
Participants will learn to:
- Describe the challenges and opportunities for adults aging with IDD.
- Identify major demographic trends affecting adults aging with IDD.
- Explain age-related changes in health and social-environmental context for adults aging with IDD.
- Describe environmental and technological interventions to support adults aging with IDD and their families.
