Website for Dental resources when treating Disabled patients

The Southern Association for Institution Dentists is a website serving dental professionals in the southeastern United States. It has developed some very good content about how to care for patients who are mentally or physically disabled. They have set up a modules section, which has 14 guides that can be downloaded as PDF files. Topics include reviews of mental retardation, Down Syndrome and Cerebral Palsy, Clinical Concerns in the Provisions of Dental Care for Clients with Mental Retardation, Oral Manifestations in Genetic Syndromes with Mental Retardation, and Preventive Dentistry for Persons with Severe Disabilities.

They also have a Literature Review section that posts articles from academic sources. There are about 30 articles here, all on PDF, many of which would be very useful for your courses.
