Supporting People with IDD and Other Cognitive Disabilities in Developing ACP

$25.95

Having a cognitive disability does not mean one is incapacitated in all decision making. People with intellectual/developmental disabilities (IDD) or other cognitive disabilities can be supported to develop advance directives, including identifying their clear wishes or values and choosing someone to honor their care preferences. This webinar will address best practices, strategies, and resources for supporting people with IDD or other cognitive disabilities in developing advance directives.
