launched the 2017 Family and Individual Needs for Disability Supports Survey. People aged 18 years or older who provide primary un-paid and frequent support to a person with an intellectual or developmental disability (I/DD) living in the United States and its Territories are invited to provide feedback on their experiences.

Network for Parents of African American Children with Disabilities
The African American Developmental Disabilities Parent Advisory Group was founded in 2015 in order to meet the unique needs of parents of African American children with autism and other developmental disabilities.
The group provides advocacy and resources to increase awareness of developmental disabilities at the community level and is open to all. Group meetings are 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. generally the fourth Wednesday of each month at the UC Davis MIND Institute.
Dinner and childcare are provided. Please RSVP to
cjgrevious@ucdavis.edu or 916-703-0403. These meetings are co-sponsored by the UC Davis Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities and Warmline Family Resource and Parent Training & Information Center.
Sibling Workshops are an opportunity for siblings of children with special needs to get together with other siblings who "get" what it's like having a brother or sister with a disability.
