Recognizing that regular preventive health screenings can help people with ID remain healthy and have a good quality of life, CDDER and the Massachusetts Department of Developmental Services (DDS) developed, piloted, and implemented systems and tools to enhance health care quality and communication. The centerpiece of this initiative was the dissemination of the MA DDS preventive health screening guidelines for adults with ID. These tools are for use by clinicians, staff, individuals, and families to understand the preventive health screenings that are recommended by age and diagnoses.
