WHAT WE DO
Replacing Risk With Health & Wellness
An intellectual or developmental disability — or any condition that heightens health risk — shouldn't be a barrier to receiving personalized, effective support. In addition to our robust library of Academy courses, comprehensive Person-Centered Services, and free webinars and materials, we are the sole developer and distributor of the Health Risk Screening Tool (HRST®), the most widely used and validated health risk assessment for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, as well as other at-risk populations.
Discover how we help state IDD and Medicaid agencies, Managed Care Organizations, and provider organizations enhance health outcomes and improve lives for the people they support.

The Health Risk Screening Tool (HRST) is a Valid, Reliable, and Objective Data Source
The HRST is a predictive tool that monitors real-time risk of illness and health destabilization in at-risk populations, empowering providers and supporters to act proactively — catching problems at their earliest stages and establishing a clearer picture of healthcare needs.
Field-tested, validated, and fully HIPAA-compliant, the HRST reliably assesses 22 key areas of risk related to health and mortality.
Curriculum in IDD Healthcare (CIDDH) Is Closing a Critical Gap in Clinical Education
Most medical and nursing programs spend little to no time preparing clinicians to care for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities — leaving a widening gap between the healthcare system and the population it's meant to serve. The Curriculum in IDD Healthcare eLearn course equips clinicians, medical students, and healthcare teams with the foundational knowledge they need to recognize risk, communicate effectively, and provide truly informed care.
Developed by clinical experts and grounded in real-world practice, CIDDH is helping close the education gap one provider at a time — because better-prepared clinicians mean better, safer care for people with IDD.
What Our Clients Say About Us
"I know of no other instrument, package, or software in use with the properties and specificity of the HRST. In my opinion, this kind of instrument is urgently needed in all such care systems, particularly in decentralized community systems in which the majority of direct support personnel are non-medical."
James W. Conroy, Ph.D. President, Center for Outcome Analysis
"My experience with IntellectAbility has been truly outstanding. Everyone I’ve worked with has been incredibly helpful—assisting with the questionnaires, answering my questions, and guiding me through the annual requirements. Thanks to their support, I no longer feel overwhelmed by the process of gathering and entering data into the system. Thank you for all that you do!"
Leah Shelton Missouri MENTOR
"I highly recommend the Curriculum in IDD Healthcare to any nurse. I have had rave reviews from new nurses to veterans. The courses are educational and use person-first language and show great respect for individuals and their care team. I hope as clinicians learn more about disabilities, they will also pick up this humane approach."
Elizabeth Gifford, RN, BSN, CDDN Health Services Director, Mosaic National Supports
"[The HRST was] easy to implement with your assistance, and we are looking forward to the ability to now have objective data that will allow us to make decisions and implement measures to improve health and safety of the individuals we support."
C.E., RN, BSN, CDDN General Manager of Clinical Services
"[The Fatal Five Fundamentals is an] excellent course and very informative and explanatory on how the events could happen and how to help save individuals fast and effectively."
Training Attendee Discovery Living, Iowa
"I’ve been a TLCPCP PCT Mentor Trainer for 20 years. I’m cautious about anything claiming to ‘transform’ training—because I have seen lots of approaches over the years that have not been as effective as hoped. If you’d told me even a few years ago we’d be delivering PCT entirely online, I’d have had my doubts. But this platform truly impressed me. It engages learners instantly and brings clarity, flexibility, and depth to the learning process in a way that’s not only comparable to live instruction but in many respects surpasses it. I never thought I’d say this but online might just be the best classroom we’ve ever had!"
