ICPN Community Training:
The Fatal Four in the
ID/DD Population
Constipation
Seizure
Dehydration
Aspiration
Disorder
As providers and advocates of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, we have
a responsibility of providing the highest quality care to these challenging individuals. At times,
medical diagnosis and presenting problems go unrecognized and untreated. Often, these
individuals do not have the ability to express or identify discomfort and/or pain. Sadly, this can
result in engagement in maladaptive behaviors , sickness, or even death. Join Tracy Aldridge,
MD as she passionately speaks about four of the most common and devastating medical
challenges these individuals encounter. When these “Fatal Four” challenges are successfully
monitored and treated, we position these vulnerable individuals for a higher quality of health.
Dr. Aldridge will delve into each component and provide education, recognition/testing, tips, and
programming ideas. This is a must see for any staff member working in the ID/DD field.
