Dr. Heller’s (2019) article describes four historical models of services for aging adults with IDD: (1) segregated services, (2) services in the senior network, (3) person-centered services and supports, and (4) rights-based supports for full community inclusion. She notes that “while each era brings new models and approaches, the older ones continue to exist in many places.” A graduate student reviewing Florida’s current IDD aging services finds that one county exclusively places aging adults with IDD into specialized “senior wings” within existing disability day programs, stating this approach follows “age-appropriate” normalization principles from the 1990s.
