Collaborative Health Care for Individuals with Intellectual and/or Developmental Disabilities
Originally Presented March 7, 2024
Overview
The challenges people with disabilities experience when receiving health care services or participating in programs that promote health are monumental and can be overwhelming. Often multiple barriers make it extremely difficult or even impossible for people with disabilities to access and effectively receive healthcare. This Public Health Live will provide a background on overall health for people with disabilities, describe barriers faced by people with disabilities, and address how small changes within a provider’s office, engagement with patients, and collaboration with partners can improve healthcare for people with disabilities. Specific focus is placed on people with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities.
