Charting the Life Course for Persons with IDD and their Families
Moving from Principles to Practice
Abstract
In the fall of 2016, Pennsylvania joined the National Community of Practice for Supporting Families of Individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (CoP), which started with five states and the District of Columbia in 2013 with funding from the U.S. Administration on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AIDD) and has since expanded to include 17 states. The early adopting states worked to develop a framework for systems change to enhance support to all persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), including their families and caregivers. Envisioning a new approach to supporting families, who in turn provide lifelong supports to their loved ones with IDD, was critical given the challenges that these individuals and their families currently face.
