Empowering People with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities to Teach Others

Abstract

This is a guide for anyone working with individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) to enable these individuals to teach skills to others. People with IDD have talents and skills to share with others but often do not have the opportunity or the appropriate supports to do so. This guide was created as a resource for people who work with individuals with IDD in order to empower the individuals to share their talents and become more independent in their everyday lives.
