I/DD Community & Government Resources & Organizations

Resources, organizations, and support for I/DD clients and families

Intellectual and/or developmental disabilities and all that goes with them, from required financial planning to community involvement, can be daunting. Collecting information is vital.

support is invaluable

Resources, organizations, and support are critical to I/DD clients and families.
