The Overlooked Patient — Dismantling Oral Health and Perioperative Barriers for Individuals with IDD

Adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) often navigate unique challenges in anesthesia, sedation, and oral healthcare. Differences in communication, sensory processing, autism‑related behaviors, medical complexity, mobility, and prior care experiences often complicate their perioperative journey. This VGR brings disciplines together around a shared commitment to improving care for children and adults with IDD, offering a practical framework for strengthening perioperative and oral health pathways, and energizing AADMD student engagement to help build a more responsive future.
