Do you live or work with people who have intellectual or developmental disabilities (IDD)?

If so, our Train-The-Trainer Program is for you.

ProActive Caring is offering a free program that will train professionals and caregivers to teach individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities how to learn and practice mindfulness strategies independently, using task-analysis and assistive technology.

Participants will complete two Zoom sessions to prepare them for supporting individuals with IDD and will also learn how to use the MPower Me platform and app in relation to working with individuals with IDD.

MPower Me designs, installs, and supports personalized assistive technology to increase independence, communication, employability, and inclusion for people with IDD while enhancing existing services and reducing the need for human intervention.
