The Louisiana Developmental Disabilities Council is teaming up with other organizations to offer free trainings for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD), their families, and advocates. These trainings will help you learn important skills and information to better support yourself or someone you care about.
Here’s what you can learn:
