Young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (ID/DD) and their parents and/or support persons have unique needs during disasters and emergencies which require additional planning. Many look to their primary care teams to assist them in this planning and during such stressful times.
Find online resources through the ARC's Virtual Program Library for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their caregivers. This virtual library is a free hub of on-demand activities.
If you are a parent or family member providing support to a child or adult with an intellectual or developmental disability, respite services can provide you with a much-needed break away from your caregiving responsibilities.
