Why ER Visits Are Tougher for IDD Patients

Ever wondered why ER visits are extra stressful for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD)? They show up to the ER almost twice as often as others, but face longer waits, more confusion, and a lot of frustration for both families and staff. From tricky communication to environments that just aren’t set up for their needs, it’s a tough ride. Better teamwork, more training, and a little extra patience could make a huge difference! #Healthcare #DisabilityAwareness #EmergencyRoom #IDD #MentalHealth #Health
