Abstract

There are approximately seven million individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) in the United States but only about 25% receive services through publicly-funded programs such as Medicaid and Medicare. The rest are supported by the family and private services. However, as the system moved from institutional care to home and community-based services, families are seeking public funded services. Additionally, as the caregivers age they need more support taking care of the person they support.
