WRI Solutions partnered with the NYS Council on Developmental Disabilities (CDD) to create accessible resources for young adults with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (IDD).
Quick Guides provide guidance, answer common questions, and list resources available for people with IDD living in New York State. The guides offer guidance on a number of life topics. All of the Quick Guides are useful to people living outside of New York, too.
If you or someone you know with IDD is graduating high school soon, looking for a job, thinking about moving out on their own, or want support with making and keeping friends, our Quick Guides are for you.
There are currently twelve quick guides covering four main topics:
All twelve guides are available in Spanish.
We have created materials to assist with training on the four main Quick Guide topics. The intention behind these training materials is to encourage conversation about each topic so self-advocates can feel more confident on their own, and provide great resources for classrooms, support groups, and self-study.
Including self-advocates or peers while administering the trainings is highly encouraged (we designed it that way!).
Materials included for each topic are:
The training materials for the My Life After High School series is available in Spanish.
