- Become more aware with behavioral symptoms that may require medical intervention.
- Manage behavioral symptoms more effectively and safely, particularly in those with dementia.
Intended Audiences: Physicians, nurses, and other allied health staff caring for geriatric patients.

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.

This session will be on “Diagnosis and Management of Dementia in Adults with IDD.” Diagnosing dementia in adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) presents unique clinical challenges that can lead to under-recognition or delayed diagnosis. This one-hour educational activity equips primary care clinicians with a structured, IDD-informed diagnostic approach, including how to adapt standard dementia evaluations, identify reversible conditions that mimic dementia, and assess likely dementia etiology. Participants will gain practical guidance on avoiding common diagnostic pitfalls and determining when specialty referral is indicated.
