Beyond Boundaries
With up to 12 CME / CEU continuing education hours, the Developmental Disability & Neurodiversity Conference (DDNC) offers dynamic learning experiences, powerful conversations, and meaningful connection. DDNC brings together families, self-advocates, clinicians, educators, service providers, and community leaders to step away from the day-to-day, immerse themselves in learning, and collaborate to create real-world impact.
At DDNC, you’ll gain practical insight, be inspired by lived experience and innovation, and build partnerships that extend far beyond the conference.
Professional Growth
Whether you are deepening your clinical knowledge, expanding your professional skill set, or exploring new perspectives in disability and neurodiversity, DDNC provides evidence-informed sessions, expert speakers, and real-life strategies you can take back to your work, your family, and your community.
​
Inspiration
From keynote sessions to interactive breakouts, DDNC is designed to energize and empower. Hear from leaders, advocates, and individuals with lived experience whose stories and expertise will challenge assumptions, spark new ideas, and reignite your passion for inclusive, person-centered care and collaboration.

Connection
Connection is at the heart of DDNC. Through sessions, discussion tables, networking spaces, and our Connection Expo, you’ll have opportunities to build authentic relationships, exchange ideas, and strengthen partnerships across disciplines, sectors, and lived experiences—because meaningful impact happens when we work together.
