Abstract

Aim: Adults with intellectual disabilities (ID) often lack opportunities to discuss their end-of-life concerns and wishes, particularly regarding their own death. Conclusions: Problems for people with ID about end-of-life knowledge, planning and self-determination provide clear evidence of the need for intervention. Disability staff may need support and training to engage in constructive and supportive conversations with clients about end-of-life.
