Prevention Messages and Intellectual Disabilities: A Necessary Adaptation

Prevention messages are not tailored to young people with intellectual disabilities, notes Éric Marchandet, a sociologist, parent of a child with a disability, and president of an association. He recommends creating specific campaigns for this population. Health education must be integrated into the institutions that serve this population and promoted not only by professionals but also by educators, other staff members, and, of course, parents. To achieve this, training is necessary.
