Substance use, risky use, and addiction commonly occur in the population, including among people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). In this workshop, we discuss (1) an overview of what is known about substance use, prevention, and treatment among people with IDD; (2) consideration of another cognitive challenge, namely traumatic brain injury (TBI), which has many overlaps with the prevention and treatment aspects for people with IDD; and (3) peer support for people with disabilities and substance use challenges.
