I am interested in learning more on the personal experiences, both good and bad that patients with intellectual disabilities may have had when hospitalized and what they or their families feel may have been done to make an experience better? More resources? Better understanding from the health providers? Social work involvement? I am looking to try to improve the care that is received when in the hospital setting. My goal is to bring more awareness and understanding where I work. Any information you can provide or share would be greatly appreciated.

Besides, there is a more correct label for mental retardation; it's now more properly called intellectual disability. This label actually helps to make the difference clear.<br />Intellectual disability describes a level of cognitive capability. Mental illness is due to a chemical imbalance in the brain. Cognition vs. brain chemistry.Padmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00983932609668600715noreply@blogger.com
