Article: Improving outcomes for children with intellectual and developmental disabilities using MLP
Friday, April 24, 2015
This article in the Journal of Policy and Practice in Intellectual Disabilities examines a pediatric-based medical-legal partnership to improve implementation of clinical recommendations and outcomes for low-income children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The authors explain how incorporating advocacy and legal services directly into a clinical setting provides better outcomes for children with intellectual and developmental disabilities who might not otherwise have access to critically needed services.
