From Insight to Impact: Join Us at DDNC 2026
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.
