TEASC is an interdisciplinary team that provides consultative services for adults with intellectual/developmental disabilities (I/DD), presenting with complex medical, behavioral, or systems needs. TEASC consultation does not replace the ongoing care of an individual’s medical, therapy, or interdisciplinary team providers.
