Supports and Services in the Experience of Aging
Description: With the extended life expectancy and growing numbers of persons aging with
intellectual and developmental disabilities, the service system needs to
better address the age-related needs of this population. Key issues include
health disparities and development of secondary conditions, health promotion,
support for family caregiving, residential supports, and assistive technology
and environmental interventions to support community participation and "aging
in place."
