Last month, I had the privilege of attending a webinar put on by AAIDD in conjunction with the Coleman Institute for Cognitive Disabilities and the Institute on Disability and Human Development. Both of these institutes have really great data on I/DD Home and Community Based Services throughout the US and really give a complete picture on what's going on in our industry as a whole. This blog post will focus around what I learned regarding the services and needs of individuals with I/DD as they have trended over the last 30 something years. There are some really promising trends that were uncovered in the webinar and also some that pose challenges to providers across the country.
