These services often include access to specialized healthcare resources, such as medical care, therapies (speech, occupational, physical), and behavioral health services, to address the unique needs of people with IDD.

Disability rights and other civil rights laws are rooted in a fundamental ideal: that every person, irrespective of their inherent differences, is equal—regardless of where we come from, how we worship, how we look, who we love, or whether we have a disability. Honoring our common humanity is a foundation for our vision of the world.

Navigating the Social Security system can be challenging, especially for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). If you or someone you care for has IDD, you may be eligible for Social Security Disability benefits (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI). These programs provide crucial financial support to help with living expenses and medical costs. Applying for these benefits can be a complex process, so it's important to gather all necessary medical documentation and seek guidance if needed. You can start the process online, by phone, or in person at your local Social Security office. Remember, there's support available to help you through the application process.
