[Preventive care in adults with disabilities].

The health check-up is an opportunity for the general practitioner to carry out preventive measures and screening. Like any other patient, adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities must have access to it without discrimination. The preventive recommendations for people with disabilities follow those of the general population with some specificities, in particular the prevention of sensory disability, attention to the underestimated health problems in this population and those associated with the handicap. Here several types of barriers to the implementation of preventive measures such as patient's participatory and emotional barriers, the caregiver's barriers and the environmental barriers will be discussed. Finally, practical advice for the management of these patients will be presented.
