  3. Note of Clarification While mental retardation (MR) is still recognized as a clinical diagnosis, in an effort to support the work of self-advocates, the APS SW PA HCQU will be using the terms intellectual and/or developmental disability (ID/DD) to replace mental retardation (MR) when feasible.

  4. Objectives Define the term intellectual and developmental disability and diagnostic criteria needed for clinical diagnosis. Recognize unique health considerations and researched based evidence that impacts individuals with ID/DD in the medical setting. Identify communicative ways of expression in individuals with ID/DD and discuss tools that can be used to improve communication efforts. Recall therapeutic techniques that can be utilized, within the DEM, to provide comfort to individuals with ID/DD and reduce frustration in providing care.
