Create both a Theory of Change Logic Model and a Program Logic Model for assessing to quality healthcare for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Utilizing information gathered to produce assumptions, which will form the foundation of the logic model. Include key elements including resources, activities, outputs, short- and long-term outcomes, and impact. Describe the steps taken to create your logic model, considered available resources in your plan, and how to measure activities to generate outcome data. This assignment should include a narrative explanation of your programmatic elements in addition to a visual depiction of the logic model.

Theory of Change Narrative:
This Theory of Change posits that by addressing the knowledge gap and logistical challenges faced by both people with ID/DD and healthcare providers, we can increase access to quality healthcare for this population. Through targeted interventions, we aim to empower individuals with ID/DD to advocate for their needs and navigate the healthcare system effectively. Additionally, healthcare providers will receive training to improve their communication skills, cultural competency, and understanding of specific health needs associated with ID/DD. Ultimately, this will lead to improved health outcomes and a higher quality of life for people with ID/DD.
