WRI Solutions partnered with the NYS Council on Developmental Disabilities (CDD) to create accessible resources for people with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (IDD). These resources help individuals with IDD live more independently, participate in their community, and achieve their goals.
Quick Guides provide guidance, answer common questions, and list resources available for people with IDD living in New York State. The guides offer guidance on a number of life topics. All of the Quick Guides are useful to people living outside of New York, too.
If you or someone you know with IDD is graduating high school soon, looking for a job, thinking about moving out on their own, or want support with making and keeping friends, our Quick Guides are for you.
There are currently twelve quick guides covering four main topics:
All twelve guides are available in Spanish.
We have created materials to assist with training on the four main Quick Guide topics. The intention behind these training materials is to encourage conversation about each topic so self-advocates can feel more confident on their own, and provide great resources for classrooms, support groups, and self-study.
Including self-advocates or peers while administering the trainings is highly encouraged (we designed it that way!).
Materials included for each topic are:
The training materials for the My Life After High School series is available in Spanish.
The Rideshare Quick Guide is an accessible resource for adults age 18 and older with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (IDD). It gives step-by-step instructions for setting up and using a rideshare app on your phone. The guide also includes safety information and tips to help you feel comfortable and confident when using a rideshare. Rideshare services can be helpful if you do not drive, do not have a car, or live in an area without a bus or train that goes where you need to go. Learning how to get your own rides can be one way to build independence and make more choices about where you go and when.
