As part of the project „DigIDe”, we address the stress load of professionals caring for people with intellectual disabilities. In addition, the project is designing a digital tool for early identification of dementia in people with intellectual disabilities. The aim of the project is to minimize stressful situations for caregivers due to dementia symptoms in people with intellectual disabilities and to reveal possibilities for support and assistance. We develop and test this tool in a participatory process together with employees from social services for people with disabilities.
Keywords: intellectual disability and dementia, early identification, workload, digital tool
