For the first time, adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) are living to experience old age. The purpose of this project was to assess the activities of aging and disability resource centers (ADRCs) as they seek to serve older adults with intellectual disabilities and their family caregivers. Data come from 21 in-depth qualitative interviews with ADRC staff in seven states. Results of this qualitative analysis indicate that ADRCs are not focusing explicitly on adults aging with I/DD and their family caregivers, but meeting the needs of this population is a future goal of ADRCs. Challenges related to accessing and providing information and referral services for adults aging with I/DD were described and highlight existing unmet needs of this population. Supporting adults who simultaneously require aging and disability services requires true coordination of aging and disability service systems.
智力和发育障碍（I/DD）的成年人首次活到了老年。该项目的目的是评估老年与残疾资源中心（ADRCs）在努力为智障老年人及其家庭照顾者提供服务时的活动情况。数据来自对七个州的ADRC工作人员进行的21次深入定性访谈。这项定性分析的结果表明，ADRCs并未明确关注患有I/DD的老年人及其家庭照顾者，但满足这一人群的需求是ADRCs未来的目标。描述了与为患有I/DD的老年人获取和提供信息及转介服务相关的挑战，并突出了这一人群现有的未满足需求。支持同时需要老年和残疾服务的成年人需要老年和残疾服务系统真正的协调配合。
