Advancing IDD Care: Strategies for Better Outcomes
Most nurses receive little to no formal education in caring for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD)—yet these patients are part of every hospital’s reality. Without the right tools, care can feel uncertain, stressful, and overwhelming for nurses. Patients can experience prolonged hospital stays, higher costs, and poor health outcomes
You’re not alone – and you don’t have to figure it out on your own.
Join experts from the Golisano Institute for Developmental Disability Nursing at St. John Fisher University—the only institute of its kind in the U.S.—for a practical, empowering session designed for acute care teams.
You’ll learn:
- How our attitudes and beliefs influence care delivery for this population
- How best to decode behavior as a form of communication in acute care settings.
- Emerging promising practices from the Golisano Institute’s new, specialized 8-course curriculum for acute care nurses.
- Actionable strategies to reduce stress, improve care, and shorten hospital stays.
You’ll also get access to additional tools and resources to keep building your team’s confidence and competence.
Reserve your spot today to build a more responsive, empowered care team—and a better hospital experience for every patient.
