The Administration on Community Living (ACL) funds the National Alzheimer’s and Dementia Resource Center (NADRC), which will be providing a webinar on December 9, 2:00 PM CT, for adult day services providers on serving individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities (I/DD) and dementia. The webinar will feature Abbey Such and Eunice Howard of the Arc of Jacksonville. Presenters will discuss the increased prevalence of dementia among the I/DD population and how to prepare providers and caregivers for future care and services needs.
The Arc of Jacksonville operates a comprehensive adult day program with education and caregiver supports focused on the I/DD population and their caregivers. Adult day members have indicated an interest in increasing awareness of needs and optimizing services for the I/DD population and this webinar offers adult day providers an opportunity to assess existing opportunities for service improvements or expansions.
