Instruction
The Health Considerations material has been prepared as a tool to be used by staff who provide primary support to Aging Persons with a Developmental Disability.
Using the tables guides staff to gather and prepare important Health information.
This information can be used for a medical appointment, an annual health review or for a hospital visit.
Please note, an individual’s situation may necessitate the completion of more than one of the ‘System’ specific tables.
The tables have application for verbal and non-verbal adults alike. Completion of the information should be achieved using established communication strategies and resources.
