Supporting Older Adults with IDD
Description
This presentation will focus on how healthcare professionals and caregivers of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) can support them through the aging process, specifically when there are indicators of dementia present. Participants will learn about the aging process, including similarities and differences between neurotypical and neurodiverse populations. Special attention will be paid to differential diagnosis and diagnostic overshadowing of individuals with I/DD and dementia.
