The North Carolina Council on Developmental Disabilities (NCCDD) offers a webinar series called “The Council Presents.” This monthly gathering is designed to provide valuable information, resources, and discussions on intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD).

Sessions are held on the fourth Thursday of each month from 1:00PM to 2:00PM, with sessions lasting anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. Each session will feature expert insights, community updates, and opportunities for engagement with community stakeholders, professionals, and individuals with I/DD. Whether you are a self-advocate, family member, service provider, or policymaker, these sessions are designed to keep you informed and connected.
