The Vanderbilt Kennedy University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities would like to invite you to join us for a free webinar focused on providing improved medical care to adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities on April 4 at noon Central Standard Time/1:00 p.m. Eastern. This webinar will offer information about sleep issues and the difficulties they can cause for adults with IDD. Sleep fragmentation can contribute to behavioral, neuropsychological and cognitive problems.

This webinar is part of our effort to build capacity of clinicians to serve adults with IDD, which includes the IDD Toolkit tools at www.iddtoolkit.org, and the free online training, developed in partnership with DIDD and TennCare, at http://tinyurl.com/train-idd-meds. This webinar is for physicians, advanced practice nurses, physician’s assistants, registered nurses, psychologists and social workers.
