As the population of individuals living with intellectual and developmental disabilities ages, so does the incidence of dementia. Communities need to be prepared to serve and support this population. Education is one of the foundational components to ensure person-centered care is provided and systems can meet the unique needs of persons living with intellectual and developmental disabilities and dementia. This webinar will explore educational programs utilized when training providers of aging and intellectual and developmental disability services, and how Ohio began to build systems to support individuals, families, and providers within local communities. Lessons learned, impact findings from educational sessions, accessible and replicable resources, and information on the overall system changes will be shared.
