The majority of the IDD workforce should be commended for the around-the-clock and compassionate care they give to individuals with intellectual & developmental disabilities.
Ever wondered what it's like to work in the field of intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD)? In this episode of 'The Association Spotlight Series', host Lake Morehouse sits down with Mark Drennan to unpack the recent reports on IDD care in West Virginia. The conversation dives deep into the complexities faced by the IDD workforce, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic and an unprecedented workforce shortage.
Mark passionately discusses the tireless efforts of these caregivers who, despite the odds, provide round-the-clock, compassionate care to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. He also addresses the frustration felt by many in the IDD community who feel unfairly judged by isolated incidents of neglect or abuse. The episode doesn't shy away from tough topics, but it also shines a light on the dedication and resilience of those working in this challenging field.
If you're interested in understanding the real-world impact of legislative decisions on IDD services or simply want to hear stories of incredible dedication, this episode is a must-listen.
