Develop a Supporting Families Community of Practice
Create a formal structure to routinely share and receive feedback with people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and autism, and their families. Developing a
Community of Practice will allow North Dakota to partner with individuals and families and harness grassroots advocacy to support systems transformation. Joining the
National Community of Practice, co-led by NASDDDS and UMKC-IHD, creates opportunities for ongoing information sharing and learning with peers, and technical
assistance to support innovation.

The Community of Practice for Supporting Families of
Individuals with Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities exists
to enhance and drive policy, practice, and system transformation
to support people with intellectual/developmental disabilities
within the context of their families and communities.
What began as a five-year grant (awarded by the Administration
on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AIDD) in October
2012), with six original state members has continued to expand.
Teams are comprised of both public state agencies and
grassroots stakeholders from each state, who are individually
and collectively influencing and supporting sustainable
transformation to support good lives for people with disabilities
and their families.
