The Health Considerations Tables have been developed for use by staff, family, caregivers and others who support aging persons with Developmental Disability(ies).
The purpose of the ‘Tables’ is to enable staff and others to compile and report valuable information pertaining to a specific individual. It will also highlight any changes the individual may be experiencing. The completed information is intended to be presented at regular medical appointment reviews as well as at acute and emergency care visits.
Note: Persons with a developmental disability may begin to develop age-related changes effecting one or more body systems at an earlier chronological age.
