Aging and Disability Series Flyer with clickable registration links

Americans are living longer than ever before and that includes adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).  The number of adults with IDD over the age of 60 is projected to nearly double within the next 10 years.  But what does aging with disability look like?

Texas A7M AgriLife Extension Service in partnership with the Texas Council for Developmental Disabilities, will host a webinar series on the emerging topic of aging with intellectual and development disabilities.  The three-part series will discuss aging with disabilities versus aging into disabilities, health and wellness resources for the aging population with IDD and their caregivers, and the role of caregivers and family supports on self-supported autonomy and supported decision-making.

Accomodations: Communications Access Real-time Translation (CART) will be provided for this webinar series.  If you require additional accommodations to participate, please contact Morgan Bradley at morgan.braley@ag.tamu.edu at least four days prior to the event.
