Part 2 of the 4-part webinar series: Understanding Aging & Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities (IDD), empowering caregivers with essential insights and resources for their journey with loved ones who have IDD.
End-of-life care for a loved one with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) is a sensitive and challenging topic for both professionals and families. This session will provide tools you need to navigate this journey with confidence including introducing key terms and language related to end-of-life care (e.g., MOLST, 6-Step Process, Health Care Proxy), and emphasizing the significance of including individuals with IDD in decision-making as much as possible, empowering them to be part of this critical conversation.
