This is your chance to make an impact!
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. We bring 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.
The seminar is packed with informative sessions featuring experts in the field and offers opportunities to discuss key issues with others from your state. The event culminates with attendees converging on Capitol Hill to speak directly to their members of Congress about the high-priority issues that affect people with disabilities, their families, and supporters.
Join us to help cultivate new champions in Congress and press for progress on critical disability rights issues!
Designed to help both beginners and experts elevate the impact of their advocacy.
Whether you’re new to advocacy or a seasoned professional, this event is for you! Join us if you are a:
- Person with a disability

- State or local public policy committee member
