Description:

Individuals with disabilities face profound challenges in every aspect of daily living. Accessing oral healthcare remains their number one unmet healthcare need. Without a properly trained workforce, this disparity continues to grow. This course offers a compelling look into the daily experiences of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and explores how healthcare providers can transform lives often by simply changing their perspective.

• to understand the critical role caregivers play in ensuring a successful dental appointment
• to recognize why and how the provider’s role goes far beyond clinical treatment
