Abstract

Youth with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) typically experience multiple health domains requiring intervention (e.g., medical health, behavior, developmental progress, motor development). Effective management and referral requires primary care providers (PCPs) to have expertise in multiple domains, many of which may fall outside the typical purview of medical providers. Thus, effective primary care for individuals with IDD may be best accomplished when PCPs access support from other providers with developmental and behavioral expertise. This chapter details methods of behavioral consultation to medical and other healthcare providers in primary care settings, including methods to facilitate collaborative multidisciplinary decision-making and formulation of behavioral medicine protocols.
