A groundbreaking initiative is set to position the Yale School of Nursing as a national leader in the education of health care for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. This program aims to enhance the quality of care provided to this often underserved population by equipping future nurses with specialized knowledge and skills.
The initiative will focus on developing comprehensive training modules that address the unique health care needs of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
