Crimes against people with intellectual/developmental disabilities (IDD) go under-reported, often due to the justice process missing the supports and knowledge to serve this population. This self-paced training gives crime victim professionals an understanding of how they can best serve a person with IDD. With the proper knowledge, people with IDD can be credible witnesses and you can help them tell their story!

People with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) deserve to live and participate in our communities! Some may need support, additional protections, or services to help them live a healthy and safe life. Who are the people in their life? What are the unique ways in which they show up in the community? How can we make sure we are prepared to support them? Learn all this and more in the Circle of Supports and Decision-Making primer!

If you are new to supporting people with Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities (IDD), this is the course for you! Everyone with IDD is unique in their own way, and so is how you support them. The first step to showing up for them is to make sure that you understand the foundation of how we understand IDD, communication, community living, and more.
