Date Presented 04/22/2023
Accessing the appropriate level of medical treatment is a challenge to living independently for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Developing instructional materials and strategies is key to improving success. This study found a statistically significant change in pre- and posttest measures on the Independent Living Scale, Health and Safety Section (p = .01), and a modified version of the PASS-Referenced Dispatch Scale (p = .018).
