Join us tomorrow, March 23, 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. eastern time, for a session on accessible graphic design! One of the biggest challenges our IT Accessibility staff hears about is creating accessible versions of complex documents: data guides, long reports, and advertising flyers. During this webinar, we’ll be looking into what tools you can use in programs such as InDesign and Illustrator to make this process easier rather than remediating the document after the fact.

NEW WEBINAR SERIES- REGISTER TODAY!

Transition and Employment Needs of Young Adults with Mental Health Conditions

Presented by Kathryn Sabella, UMass Chan Medical School

Young adults with serious mental health conditions experience a unique set of challenges as they transition to adulthood and navigate school, training, and work. This three-part series will first provide audience members with a general understanding of this population, then describe how this group navigates school, training, and work, and conclude with an important consideration of how services can and should consider young adults needs from a diversity, equity, and inclusion lens. Information from these webinars can help providers and policy makers better understand how to effectively support this population.

 

We need your input!

The Maryland Center for Developmental Disabilities (MCDD) invites caregivers of children/young adults with intellectual, developmental, and other disabilities to complete a Voice of the Caregiver (VoC) survey.

Help us learn about things that influence the health, well-being, and independence of your child and/or young adult.

The purpose of this needs assessment is to better understand the needs of people in our community from the perspective of those who care for children and youth with intellectual, developmental, and other disabilities.

Thank you to those who have already completed the survey at this time. We are grateful for your participation and deeply value your input.
