As life expectancy for people with developmental disabilities increases, they are at higher risk to develop dementia. This webinar provides an overview to this important mental health issue for persons with developmental disabilities, and describes how a new free e-learning series is available to support interdisciplinary health professionals, physicians, Community Living BC staff and Community Living Society providers who work with this population and who encounter dementia-related issues in daily practice.
