Aging and Developmental Disability: Signs and symptoms, what can you do?

REENA | AIDE Canada
This video is about the aging process in people with DD. The aging process for humans is similar except instead of individuals telling us, we have to know what to look for. Individuals with ID/DD have a higher risk of developing chronic health conditions at younger ages than other adults, due to biological factors related to syndromes and associated developmental disabilities, problems accessing adequate health care, and lifestyle and environmental issues.
