Description: Many children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and those with Down syndrome do not have access to specialty clinics that have expertise in treating those with IDD, resulting in bias and substandard care. This webinar will teach you:
- How bias and diagnostic overshadowing in health care settings negatively impacts individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
- Useful strategies that individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, their parents and caregivers can utilize.
- Resources that individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, their families and caregivers can share with health care providers.
