Why You Should Attend
The Disability Policy Seminar is the premier opportunity to cultivate support on Capitol Hill and amplify the concerns of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) before Congress. The seminar brings together passionate advocates, including people with disabilities, experts, and professionals in the field, to learn about key issues and advance the grassroots movement for people with IDD.
This is your chance to make an impact!
Your presence will help us establish allies on Capitol Hill and press for progress on critical disability rights issues that make life in the community possible for people with IDD.
