Almost all physicians see patients with intellectual disabilities in their practices. There are still health disparities between people with intellectual disability and the general population. Consultations with this group of patients can be challenging, but there are ways to improve on them. Take your time when it comes to communicating with patients with intellectual disabilities, adapt language use and make use of visual aids. People with intellectual disabilities and complex care needs can be referred to intellectual disability physicians (AVG in Dutch) or syndrome-specific outpatient clinics.
几乎所有医生在其执业过程中都会接待智障患者。智障人群与普通人群之间仍然存在健康差距。与这类患者进行会诊可能具有挑战性，但有一些方法可以改进。在与智障患者沟通时要慢慢来，调整语言使用并利用视觉辅助工具。有复杂护理需求的智障患者可以转诊至智障医生（荷兰语为AVG）或特定综合征门诊。
