Bridging the Gap: Adapting the 4Ms of Age-Friendly Health Systems for People with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities

Friday, November 21, 2025, 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM, A Live Webinar

This webinar explores how the 4Ms Framework for Age-Friendly Care—What Matters, Medication, Mentation, and Mobility—can be adapted to meet the unique needs of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Participants will learn the core principles of the 4Ms, understand how these elements can support aging individuals with IDD, and gain practical strategies to apply this framework in clinical and everyday care settings.

AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ (1.00 hours), ANCC Contact Hours (1.00 hours), ASWB Continuing Education (ACE) credits (1.00 hours), Non-Physician Participation Credit (1.00 hours)

1. Describe the 4Ms framework: what is it, how it works, and why it exists.
2. Explain how and why the 4Ms framework can be adapted to support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities as they age.
3. Identify practical ways to apply the 4Ms framework to enhance person-centered care for adults with IDD as they age.
