Bridging the Gap...One Story at a Time

Philadelphia Coordinated Health Care (PCHC) is conducting a storytelling project entitled, “Bridging the Gap…One Story at a Time.” This storytelling project is designed for individuals who have intellectual/developmental disabilities (I/DD) as well as mental illness to share their stories in a way that engages people, changes perceptions and connects them to the community. In helping individuals tell their stories, PCHC hopes to reduce disparities by increasing cultural sensitivity, creating public awareness, dispelling societal assumptions, and increasing acceptance of people who have I/DD and those with I/DD as well as mental illness. As a participant of the “Bridging the Gap…” project participants will be able to tell their stories through various methods, including: video recording, audio recording and written interviews.

As people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) age and live longer than ever before, they may become more inclined to acquire eating, drinking and swallowing difficulties contributing to dysphagia-related symptoms.
