Institute for Exceptional Care (IEC) is a small national nonprofit based in the District of Columbia that operates in the hospitals and health care sector. It aims to improve safety and quality of care for people with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities by bridging the disability and healthcare communities to influence how care is taught, delivered, and paid for. IEC focuses on individuals with IDD and the providers and organizations involved in their care, addressing gaps in education, practice, and funding within the health system. In November 2023, IEC launched the IDD Advocate Corps, a community effort to effect change from within the care system. In 2024, Behavioral Health Tech, Inc. selected IEC as its 2024 non-profit grantee, signaling ongoing partnerships to advance its mission.
