    • Community agencies are actively implementing strategies to support individuals with IDD in managing risks.
    • Empowering direct care workers and utilizing Risk Committees are effective methods.
    • Balancing personal liberties with safety is achievable through structured support systems.

    Conclusions:

    • The principle of
    • dignity of risk
    • is crucial for enhancing the quality of life for individuals with IDD.
