What Is IDD Care?
IDD care is a broad term for the services and support provided to people with intellectual & developmental disabilities, including autism spectrum disorders, Down syndrome, and cerebral palsy. These individuals may have challenges with:
- Learning and communication
- Social skills and behavior regulation
- Daily living tasks
- Independent mobility and decision-making
But with the right disabilities services, they can live meaningful, empowered, and connected lives.
