Abstract:
Although health care access among adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) improved in the past decade, persistent challenges still exist in obtaining care coordination and supportive services. As the life expectancy of individuals living with IDD increases and care succession occurs from family's community care to institutional care, the risk of maltreatment among adults with IDD is growing. Health conditions, for example, cognitive impairment pose a risk of maltreatment in adults with IDD. This commentary aims at addressing the contribution of these health conditions and better health care workforce training in order to ameliorate the risk of maltreatment among adults with IDD.
