ID covers a range of conditions and syndromes including Down\u2019s syndrome. Increasingly people with ID are living longer with implications for the provision of HSE services in particular, residential care and mental health services. Studies show that the prevalence of dementia appears about the same as in the general population. However, the prevalence of dementia among people with Down\u2019s syndrome is higher and has increased from 15.8% to 29.9% between 2010 and 2014 (Intellectual Disability Supplement to The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA). The average age of the onset of dementia for people with Down\u2019s syndrome is 55 years old, with some cases presenting in their 40s. People with ID who are diagnosed with dementia may require specific supports and services but most continue to live within the community.<\/h4>\n<h4><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hse.ie\/eng\/services\/list\/4\/olderpeople\/dementia\/about-dementia\/dementiaandid\/\"><strong>http:\/\/www.hse.ie\/eng\/services\/list\/4\/olderpeople\/dementia\/about-dementia\/dementiaandid\/<\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\n<h4>The TILDA report shows that the vast majority of people with intellectual disability live at home with family or with carers.\u00a0 The improved life expectancy among adults with severe intellectual disability has placed an increased demand on full-time residential services as fewer places are becoming free over time.<\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><strong><em>Conference Aims<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n<h4>As such, this conference aims to provide information and increase understanding among Health and Social Care Professions (HSCPs) about<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4>the mental health needs of service users with intellectual disabilities, with a particular focus on dementia<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4>how to recognise early signs of dementia and other mental health difficulties &amp;
