Idaho Council on Developmental Disabilities

08/19/2026

Please share your lived experiences Idaho!

See details from our National organization below.

People with developmental disabilities have always been here. We belong in our schools, workplaces, faith groups, and neighborhoods.

NACDD wants to hear your story. We are collecting stories and photos from people with developmental disabilities, family members, and friends across the country. These stories and photos will be added to our DDAM 2026 gallery and shared across social media.

Your story has three parts:

- Then: What was life like in the past?
- Now: What does belonging in your community look like today?
- Always: What do you hope for the future?

Share your story and photo here: https://bit.ly/WereHereThenNowAlways

We are here. Then, now, and always.
