This video introduces an interdisciplinary course which will enable student to further develop their knowledge of ageing health and well-being in intellectual disability. Throughout their lives many people with intellectual disability have not received adequate care from the services offered to the general population and greater community presence requires that this change. The numbers of ageing adults with intellectual disability are also growing as the complexity of their conditions increases and there is a need to offer coursework that directly addresses these issues. The course is therefore designed to contribute to, promote and enhance high quality care for older adults with intellectual disability, and develop articulate, inquisitive and confident practitioners able to respond to the changing landscape of care delivery.
