In the MZEB Aachen, since 11/2018 patients with intellectual disabilities and/or severe multiple disabilities are diagnosed, treated and accompanied for many years in a multidisciplinary setting with physicians, nurses, physiotherapists, ergo therapists, speech therapists and Support by social workers. MZEBs are considered to have a pilot function in the health care system, cooperating with therapists and physicians in the surroundings.

Thus we want to investigate patient characteristics, diagnoses, involved physicians and therapists as well as proposed therapies and disease progress in this center.
