training and education program that strives to change knowledge, attitude, and behavior to ultimately improve the quality of life for people with intellectual and other developmental disabilities (IDD), their families, and the professionals in their lives.
Did you know that March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month? This is a time to raise awareness about the inclusion of people with developmental disabilities in all areas of community life, as well as awareness of the barriers that people with disabilities still face in our communities. Our TALKS, TRAININGS, and TOOLS can help you, your team, and others in our society increase that awareness!

Thank you for your ongoing commitment to people with developmental disabilities and their families. Happy spring, and give me a shout if you have any questions.
