Imaging

Imaging tests play a vital role in both routine health screenings and diagnosing specific conditions. For adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), these tests are essential for understanding health concerns and providing the right care.

We know that imaging tests can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially for individuals with sensory sensitivities or anxiety. That’s why we’ve created a supportive and calming environment tailored to the needs of adults with IDD. Our sensory-friendly features include noise reduction, softer lighting, and desensitization programs to help patients feel more at ease.

For mammograms, which are important for all adults at a certain age, we take extra care to explain the process, answer questions, and ensure patients feel safe and supported throughout the procedure. If mobility is a concern, our team is here to assist with safe transfers and make any special accommodations needed.

At the Mercer Center for IDD Care, we’re here to provide clear answers and compassionate care, helping every patient feel comfortable and confident in their health journey.
