Abstract

Date Presented 4/19/2018

This study is using an exploratory observational design to identify quality-of-life disparities for young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities compared with their typically developing peers. Once disparities are identified, multilevel occupational therapy interventions can be implemented to close disparity gaps for this population.
