    Research Abstract

    People with an intellectual disability (ID) may be more prone to dementia, especially at younger ages. Dr. Evans is a psychologist whose research background is in mental health in ID. This fellowship will allow her to expand her existing study of dementia in people with ID, to examine the usefulness of selected screening tools and assessments for dementia in this group, and to identify improvements in the way that people with ID who develop dementia receive help within health system.
