IDS-TILDA is a longitudinal study researching ageing in Ireland among people with an intellectual disability aged 40 and over (n=approximately 750 people). Individuals with an intellectual disability, particularly those with Down Syndrome are at an increased risk of developing an Alzheimer’s related dementia. The IDS-TILDA collects information on Intellectual Disability and Dementia.

The Living with Dementia (LiD) supports and promote post-graduate research in dementia care. Its research programme is designed to tackle the stigma and marginalisation of people with dementia, enhance practice and service provision and ultimately improve quality of life for people with dementia.
