Learning Objectives
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
1. Apply neurodevelopmental theory to their understanding of familiar and unfamiliar
developmental disability diagnoses.
2. Define diagnostic overshadowing and understand the role that dentistry plays in reducing it
in the IDD population.
3. Describe the common unusual traits of people who have autism.
4. Describe common aspects of a dental appointment that may necessitate alterations in
providing dental care, and how these alterations may be implemented.
5. Alert the dental profession as to the barriers facing an individual with disabilities and the
comorbidities that can (and most likely) will affect their treatment.

Intellectual Disability
Generally, an IQ test score of around 70 or as high as 75 indicates a limitation in intellectual functioning.
• Conceptual skills—language and literacy; money, time, and number concepts; and self-direction.
• Social skills—interpersonal skills, social responsibility, self-esteem, gullibility, naïveté (i.e., wariness), social problem solving, and the ability to follow rules/obey laws and to avoid being victimized.
• Practical skills—activities of daily living (personal care), occupational skills, healthcare, travel/transportation, schedules/routines, safety, use of money, use of the telephone.
Standardized tests can also determine limitations in adaptive behavior, which comprises three skill types:

treatment suggestionsWaiting is bad – schedule 1st case
Pre-appointment desensitization
Avoid unnecessary audible or visual distractions; avoid unnecessary change
Light touch can be distressing
Inform patient about procedure
Do not force appointment – things often get better with time and patience
Give patient time to “process” input
Ask caregivers about favorite music, video, toy - possible distraction from aversive stimuli

Respect Presumes Equity
❖ I am a person with a disability NOT a disabled person.
❖ Do not try to fix me because I am not broken. Support me. I can make my contribution to the community in my way.
❖ Talk with me...NOT about me.
❖ Be prepared for me...know my history, my medications and why I may have an increased risk of dental carries.

Disability Rights 101: Nothing About Us
Without Us
❖ Disability is a natural part of the human experience. The lives of people with disabilities are inherently meaningful and valuable.
❖ Disabilities of all kinds are spread unevenly across all populations; no one is completely disabled in all areas, nor is anyone completely abled in all areas. Physical, programmatic and communication access to care are civil rights. (It's the law!)
❖ Disability is not simply a characteristic of an individual, but a failure to accommodate the needs of individuals.
❖ Inclusion requires proactive thought and action. Inclusion means that all parts of the social and physical infrastructure are accessible. This includes recognizing that illness often presents in unusual ways. It requires active work to identify signs and symptoms of illness.
❖ People with disabilities are usually much happier than they are judged to be by others.❖ Assumptions about another person's quality of life should never be used to justify offering or denying
treatment.❖ Parents and professionals do not speak for people with disabilities, but can be allies and supporters.

Consider how overwhelming a
medical/dental visit is to an
individual with special needs AND
find a way to improve that
experience!“Clinical dental treatment is the most exacting and demanding medical procedure that persons with ID/DD undergo on a regular basis
throughout their lifespan.” (Lyons 2004)

The Role of the Health Professionals in
Addressing Bias
Health professionals have a lot of influence over the lives of people with disabilities.
YOU control access to medical/dental care.
In many situations YOU even control the opportunity to make decisions and form and maintain
relationships.
YOU influence research questions, funding and methods.
YOUR research drives public policy.
With that power comes the responsibility to become self-aware about YOUR own ability bias.
YOUR words, actions and leadership matter!
By addressing YOUR own bias, YOU have a tremendous opportunity to improve the quality of
life for people with disabilities.

Stigma
Described by Goffman as “spoiled identify” stigma
impacts on health care by having providers not see
this population as benefiting from preventive
protocols, receiving adequate pain medication,
surveillance for “risk factors” associated by many
health care professionals as a low reward population,
limited respect afforded to those clinicians with an
allegiance to this population.

Communication
• Difficult for clinicians to understand patients with
limited expressive communication, limited time by
physicians and dentists increases the frustration
and they do not take thorough histories leading to
premature, ill thought thru treatment plans.
• Difficult for clinicians to know who is “in charge”
(who has the legal authority to represent the
patient).

Social Role Valorization
• Coined by Wolf Wolfensberger; described the
low view that society holds for people with
intellectual and developmental disabilities.
• Describes how society views them as burdens,
menaces, uneducable, non-contributory, pitiful,
holy innocents…values that provide little
incentive to support their development including
their health care status.

Terrence is 25 years old and autistic. His oral health journey began relatively smoothly. He was treated by the same pediatric dentist as his siblings, so his dentist was familiar to him. Just before Terrence graduated from high school his mother Tina learned that the family dentist was retiring. His mother was extremely worried about where she would take him in the future for his oral healthcare needs but took the dentist’s referral.When Tina took Terrence to the new dentist and tried to make the staff aware of this needs, the staff wouldn’t listen. As a result, the visit was a disaster.It was more than two years before Terrence’s mom tried to find another provider. Thankfully, after a long search, she was able to find the right one. Now Terrence looks forward to his dental appointments and smiles ALL THE TIME!.Tina hopes that the profession will eventually embrace the special needs population and feels it begins with a change in attitude!
