Trainings and Resources
Navigating many aspects of the disability experience can be unfamiliar, overwhelming and isolating, but it doesn't have to be. As with most things, having access to clear, understandable, and trusted information can help individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD), and their families and caregivers cut through the noise and get their bearings.
The Arc has developed a variety of in-person and self-guided training courses to help address common issues and concerns.
