Students will develop a PowerPoint presentation to provide an overview of relevant health related issues in individuals with developmental disabilities and how it relates to the group of professionals assigned (e.g. physicians, dentists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, nurses, optometrists, etc.). Specific issues faced by individuals with developmental disabilities within the selected profession should be noted. Recommendations on how to assist the targeted healthcare professionals in better treating individuals with developmental disabilities should also be addressed. The students will include at least 5-7 relevant research articles related to training of health care professionals in the field of disabilities to support their recommendations.
