Join us for a one-hour webinar that bridges the fields of aging and disability. Using a life-course model of aging well with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), this presentation focuses on the needs and challenges of adults with IDD, the social-environmental context of their lives, and strategies to improve and promote healthy aging. The discussion provides examples of family support, environmental and technological interventions, and a family-centered approach to future planning. 

Participants in this webinar will:

• Describe the challenges and opportunities for adults aging with IDD.
• Identify major demographic trends affecting adults aging with IDD.
• Explain age-related changes in health and social-environmental context for adults aging with IDD.
• Describe environmental and technological interventions to support adults aging with IDD and their families.
