Other research shows that the average age of death for individuals with IDD is 20-30 years younger than that of the general public. Financial barriers, insufficient options for care, a lack of trained providers, and societal attitudes and misconceptions have led to poor health outcomes for the IDD community. Kramer Davis Health is a new model for healthcare for individuals with IDD. Through an innovative, patient-centered, transdisciplinary model; healthcare professionals from multiple disciplines work simultaneously to provide cutting-edge, world-class care. Serving families in Tennessee, Kramer Davis offers primary care, dentistry, phlebotomy, psychology, psychiatry, speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, dietary, and specialties. The science of behavior analysis is featured at the core of Kramer Davis' model with multiple BCBAs on staff, providers specially trained and experienced with managing behavioral challenges while providing care. This panel discussion will cover what makes our healthcare model different from community health providers, how the science of behavior helps eliminate barriers to treatment, and how families and community providers can find specialized care for their loved ones and clients.
