We take our work seriously. To that end, we like to stay caught up on topics related to intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD), and we invite you to check here often to learn more about relevant topics and catch up on the news.
Topics surrounding I/DD are complex and often difficult: perspectives are as individual as the people living with those disabilities. The views expressed in these articles do not necessarily reflect the views of Promise Community Homes. Some sources require subscriptions to read the linked articles.

These in-depth studies shed light on how we can make–and are already making–our own community and our world a better place for individuals and families living with I/DD.
