Quality care & professional support
Ensuring staff are sufficiently qualified in providing care is crucial in fostering positive quality of life for individuals with intellectual disabilities. Therefore, it is essential to promote professional development for staff who work with people with intellectual disabilities. The AWVB evaluates how support staff, psychologists, and other healthcare professionals can provide the best quality care and support for individuals with intellectual disabilities. We also examine the most effective types of support and treatment that are available to people with intellectual disabilities.
