Background
The International Summit on Intellectual Disability and Dementia, held at the University of the West of Scotland, Glasgow, Scotland (October 13-14, 2016), drew individuals and representatives of numerous international and national organizations and universities with a stake in issues affecting adults with intellectual disability affected by dementia.
A discussion-based consensus process was used to examine and produce a series of topical reports examining three main conceptual areas: (1) human rights and personal resources (applications of the Convention for Rights of People with Disabilities and human rights to societal inclusion, and perspectives of persons with intellectual disability), (2) individualized services and clinical supports (advancing and advanced dementia, post-diagnostic support community, dementia-capable care practice, and end-of-life care practices), and (3) advocacy, public impact, family caregiver issues (nomenclature/terminology, inclusion of persons with Intellectual disability in national plans, and family caregiver issues).
Outcomes included recommendations incorporated into series of publications and topical summary bulletins designed to be international resources, practice guidelines, and the impetus for planning and advocacy with, and on behalf of, people with intellectual disability affected by dementia, as well as their families.
