A project led by Kiyoshi Yamaki and Kruti Acharya entitled, "Pre-Service training for Healthcare Professionals" was selected for funding by the Illinois Council on Developmental Disabilities.

The project's deliverables include:

  • Collaborate with five university programs for medical students and enhancing their curricula with the following components: ensuring rights of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) for treatment decision and continuum of care, disability etiquette, and knowledge on IDD support services
  • Host two annual coalition meetings in which collaborating university medical and health programs can network and exchange information on providing treatment for patients with IDD. Provide a means to expand to additional programs
  • Develop an online web portal at IDHD that collects and disseminates instructional materials related to pre-service training about people with IDD
