Abstract
Evidence-based supports and interventions are needed to address the unique needs of individuals with intellectual disability (ID) as they age. This research evaluates the impact of an updated version of an evidence-based person-centered planning curriculum for older adults with ID (Heller et al., 1999, 2000). Revisions to the curriculum reflect new knowledge on ways to support health and wellness in this population. The researchers work closely with a community partner to build capacity for future implementation of the curriculum and person centered planning services. The researchers deliver the updated curriculum on a weekly basis at program sites of community partner, training a staff as a co-trainer in the process. The impact of the curriculum is evaluated using a randomized pre-post design with a control group. Both groups are compared at baseline, after the intervention, and at a six-month follow-up using both qualitative and quantitative methods.
