The Adults and Elders Program works to improve health services for adults and elders with developmental disabilities through developing training materials for health care professionals, community-based residential providers, and family members; conducting research to assess the status of service delivery; and advocating for systems change. General goals of this program are to increase the awareness of the needs of adults with developmental disabilities, develop health promotions and intervention programs, and build the capacity of health professionals to meet the needs of this population.
The Adults and Elders Program of the UCEDD collaborates closely with numerous community offices and organizations including the Arc of King County and the Washington State Developmental Disabilities Council.
