Aging and Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities

Dementia and IDD Training
Caregiver Support
Early screening for dementia is crucial for providing effective care to adults with IDD. Individuals with IDD face a similar risk of developing dementia as the general population, however, they are at a significantly higher risk of developing it much earlier. Once diagnosed, they tend to live longer with the disease, and their symptoms often differ from those seen in the general aging population, making timely detection and tailored care even more important.

Fox Valley Memory Project works to create dementia-friendly communities where the fear and isolation often associated with dementia are eased by connecting people with one another and with resources to live well with dementia.
