Leveraging HCBS American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Funds to Address Health Disparities for People with IDD
People with IDD have lower rates of preventive screenings, lower life expectancy, and are at great risk of death from preventable causes such as aspiration, bowel obstruction, seizures, and other conditions including COVID-19.
Educating support staff arms them with critical knowledge to help them identify, prevent, and appropriately respond to identified health risks. This presentation highlights current and potential ARPA fund use strategies to address health risks leading to a better quality of life and lower risk for people you support.

Health Risk-Informed Telemedicine: A Model for Improving Health Equity for People with IDD
Equitable access to telemedicine and other healthcare services is a challenge for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) because most clinicians are not aware of the unique health risks that exist for this population. As a result, the health conditions most likely to result in morbidity and mortality are overlooked or misdiagnosed.
This presentation highlights an innovative model and public/private partnership between IntellectAbility, StationMD, and the Missouri Division of Developmental Disabilities comprised of three key elements: online clinician education in IDD healthcare, the use of web-based health risk-informed data, and IDD competent telemedicine supports.
Strategies for preventing unnecessary emergency department visits, promoting identification and diagnosis of often-missed health conditions, and addressing health disparities for people with IDD will be explored.
