Intellectual Disabilities: Interventions, Supports and Outcomes
Intellectual disability, or ID, can affect every area of a person’s life. Although as much as 3% of the population has ID, it is often misunderstood. People with ID have often been mistreated and ridiculed. Although things have improved, many people with ID still face limits that other people impose on their lives. In this course, you will learn what ID is and how it affects a person’s life. You will learn about common causes of ID, including related conditions. You will learn about the range of supports people with ID need to live meaningful lives. You will also learn about how those supports contribute to positive outcomes for people with ID.
