For decades, we have acknowledged the fact that children with intellectual disabilities (ID) will become teenagers and adults with ID, but we have never thought that someday they will also become elderly people with ID, probably because their lifespan has always been lower than that of the general population. Researchers are noting that the aging process for people with ID differs significantly from the aging process for people of a similar age, so it is necessary to adjust the care and treatment they receive in order to match it to their own characteristics and needs. Our priority is to improve the quality of VET, offering teaching staff and field professionals the opportunity to train in the framework of care for the elderly with intellectual disabilities, so that the knowledge they acquire can then be transferred to their students.
