The increased life expectancy of individuals with intellectual disabilities marks a positive shift in societal attitudes and advancements in healthcare. Historical mistreatment and unethical practices have given way to improved life expectancies. This is a huge development that has now increased the gap in care for individuals with IDD. This gap highlights the need for increased education, training, and research on how to care for aging adults with IDD. The Disability and Aging Summit is a way for people to come together and explore the factors that have contributed to the improved life expectancy of individuals with IDD and to identify the challenges that remain in caring for this population as they age.
