💙 April is Stress Awareness Month.

In healthcare—especially in IDD care—stress isn’t just common. It’s systemic. Nearly half of physicians continue to report burnout, driven by high workloads, administrative burden, and the emotional weight of caring for complex patient needs.

At AADMD, we know this:
Supporting patients starts with supporting providers.

That’s why we’re committed to:
✔️ Interdisciplinary collaboration
✔️ Education that builds confidence
✔️ Systems-level change that makes care more sustainable

Because better care for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities depends on a workforce that is supported, prepared, and well.

📣 Calling all dental schools and educators!

The NICHE-Dental Institutional Hero Grant supports schools that want to expand education on caring for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). By integrating NICHE-Dental curriculum resources, institutions can better prepare future providers to deliver compassionate care.

Students currently receive little training on treating patients with IDD, and this initiative is working to change that. Apply for the Hero Grant and help build a healthcare workforce ready to serve everyone.

💙 April is Autism Awareness Month.

At AADMD, we believe awareness is just the beginning. Autistic individuals deserve healthcare that is informed, accessible, and grounded in respect for lived experience. Yet too many clinicians graduate without the training, confidence, or tools to provide that care.

That’s why we’re committed to advancing interdisciplinary education and clinical competency, so every patient is seen, heard, and supported.

Let’s move beyond awareness → toward understanding, access, and action.
