What IntellectAbility does
IntellectAbility (legal entity: Health Risk Screening, Inc.) is a Clearwater, Florida-based private company that develops the Health Risk Screening Tool (HRST), a HIPAA-compliant web-based predictive instrument evaluating 22 health risk areas for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), and pairs it with an NADSP-accredited training academy. The company serves IDD provider agencies (residential, day, and community-based service organizations), state developmental disability agencies, direct support professionals, case managers, and clinicians, addressing preventable medical crises such as aspiration, bowel obstruction, dehydration, seizures, and sepsis (the "Fatal Five") through validated risk identification and workforce training.
The product portfolio centers on the HRST web platform and its add-ons (HRST Virtual Screening Service, Health Risk Informed Telemedicine, third-party interoperability APIs), complemented by the IntellectAbility Academy training library (Fatal Five Fundamentals, Person-Centered Thinking Training developed with TLCPCP, Trauma-Informed Support co-developed with Dr. Karyn Harvey, Curriculum in IDD Healthcare), Person-Centered Services (virtual seminars, live training, Coach Training), and the Electronic Person-Centered Description tool. Content development partnerships with The Learning Community for Person-Centered Practices, Support Development Associates, and the University of Georgia/Georgia DBHDD anchor the curriculum in domain-recognized best practices.
Revenue is generated through a mix of recurring HRST SaaS subscriptions (enterprise quote-based), organizational eLP bulk licensing, individual eLearn course sales (e.g., $75 for Fatal Five Fundamentals), live instructor-led training (virtual via Zoom and on-site, including a 6-8 month Coach Training program), books and materials, and HRST Virtual Screening Service fees. Distribution is US-only, executed through a direct e-commerce storefront, organizational sales, state-approved vendor channels (e.g., Illinois QIDP CE approvals), and field sales to state DD agencies and provider networks, supported by a content marketing and webinar/podcast-driven community-building motion.
