Healthcare's Invisible Population
People with intellectual disabilities face distinct health challenges and barriers—yet most medical training ignores them. This course centers their experiences: what health conditions they encounter, how to recognize and manage them, the role of ageing and comorbidities like epilepsy.
Ethical and Legal Foundations
Mental health, consent, and medical autonomy take on new dimensions in intellectual disability contexts. You'll explore the ethical and legal frameworks that protect dignity while enabling care. Essential for healthcare providers, educators, and anyone supporting this population.
