Putting People First:
Services and Supports for People with Developmental Disabilities
Individuals with intellectual or other developmental disabilities are diagnosed with I/DD if they have experienced a disability before age 22, the disability is expected to last indefinitely, and the disability creates limitations to daily living and/or cognitive skills. Additionally, in North Carolina, individuals with traumatic brain injury are also considered to fall within the I/DD category, regardless of the age at which they experienced the injury. Currently in North Carolina, there are more than 100,000 people living with I/DD. This issue of the North Carolina Medical Journal explores services and supports for this population from a variety of perspectives.
