Abstract: Findings from a 2021 Special Olympics International study indicated that 69% of health care professionals reported having little to no training caring for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. This gap in education can lead to wide disparities in care delivery. Special Olympics International developed an interprofessional curriculum to educate health care students and professionals globally. To date, 130 schools have implemented this training for health profession students with statistically significant self-reported improvements in knowledge and communication confidence.
