Supporting Function and Safety After Diagnosis: Dementia Care Planning for Adults with IDD

The National Task Group on Intellectual Disabilities and Dementia Practices is hosting an educational series called “Advancing Dementia-Capable Primary Care: Supporting Adults with Intellectual Disabilities.” This series supports primary care clinicians participating in the CMS GUIDE Model and others serving adults with IDD, including Down syndrome. The series provides a practical, step-by-step framework spanning early identification, diagnostic evaluation, medical management, and post-diagnosis care planning.

1 Free CME contact credit will be provided upon attendance and completion of post webinar survey.

Following a dementia diagnosis, adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) need coordinated, person-centered support. Presented from a nurse practitioner and social work perspective, this one-hour webinar focuses on practical post-diagnosis care planning, highlighting strategies to support function, safety, communication, and collaboration with families, direct support professionals, and community resources.

Presenters: Marie Clouqueur, LICSW and Kathryn Service, RN, M.S., FNP-BC, CDDN
