• PowerPoint
• Resources shared during the presentation:
  • “Little City Foundation, where I work, created a site called the IDD Navigator to help provide a resource “clearinghouse” so to speak and I just checked to be sure that the your organization is listed on it. It is, along with a link to the STW guide, so hopefully that will be beneficial as well. This is a newer site.” https://iddnavigator.org
