GROW
For Adults with IDDs







 
 

​​

As people with ALL abilities enter adulthood, it is more important than ever they understand their rights, services they are eligible for, life skills, and have opportunities for community engagement. Grow for Adults with IDDs teaches life skills, inclusivity, and self advocacy to empower people of all abilities ages 17+ with free events and workshops. We also offer 1:1 support from our volunteers (if desired) so participants can be as successful as possible.
