About the DDAA Conference
Individuals with developmental disabilities, including Down syndrome and autism, are living longer. As life expectancy increases, clinicians, families and service providers are witnessing new challenges in managing age-related issues. These novel challenges require innovative solutions. The Developmental Disability and Aging/Alzheimer’s Disease Conference is designed to bring clinicians, scientists and families together to address changing trends with aging, highlight recent research discoveries and innovative approaches for interventions. The conference will provide opportunities for lively discussions related to best practices in diagnosis, intervention and quality of life.
