Abstract
The impact of long-term services and supports on the quality of life of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) is not well understood given the highly complex nature of researching this topic. To support future research addressing this topic, we conducted a systematic literature review of studies addressing outcomes of adults with IDD receiving long-term services and supports. Results of this review describe current outcomes for adults with IDD who receive long-term services and supports and can be used to inform program evaluation, policy development, and future research.
