This two-part web conference series will provide sexual assault advocates with a foundation for being able to provide appropriate support and advocacy to sexual assault survivors with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). The first session in this series will provide information on the different types of intellectual and developmental disabilities, the landscape of services available to people with I/DD in California, the basics of conservatorship and mandated reporting, and how ableism intersects with sexual violence.

The second session will explore the prevalence and incidence of sexual violence and people with I/DD and the impacts of trauma on people with I/DD. Additionally, the session will introduce person-centered services and provide information on accommodations and accessibility.
