As an Adjunct Professor, Nancy continues to support graduate students and work in the field of aging and intellectual disabilities with a focus on dementia practices and quality of life.  She is a longtime member of the US based National Task Group on Intellectual Disabilities and Dementia Practices (NTG).  In Canada she co-created the NTG-Canadian Consortium on Intellectual Disabilities and Dementia that has piloted an adapted version of the NTG’s national education and training curriculum. In May 2018, Nancy was invited to the National Conference on Dementia to participate in the development of the Canadian National Strategy on Dementia.  With the advocacy efforts at the conference and from people from across the country, the newly released Canadian National Dementia Strategy includes recognition of the needs of adults with intellectual disabilities and their caregivers affected by dementia.
