Help Us Shape EmpowerED
We are working hard to bring the vision of EmpowerED to life! Our team is seeking individuals who are interested in sharing their insights to ensure it reflects the real needs, goals, and dreams of young adults with developmental disabilities. If you are a participant, parent, or guardian, we would love to hear from you.
