Building Connections and Activating Strengths: 35 Years of START
May 1-3, 2023 in Austin, TX
The SNTI was founded in 2016 to provide a forum where START network partners from across the country learn about the newest research and evidence-based approaches, along with best practices and innovations associated with START programs, to improve local capacity, service outcomes, and life experiences for individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities and mental health needs (IDD-MH) and their families.
After three years of virtual SNTI events, we are so excited to be back in person! We look forward to gathering everyone together. Select sessions may be recorded and available after the event for a fee. To access all SNTI content, please plan to attend in person.
For more information including the objectives and schedule (subject to change), please click to view the 2023 SNTI webpage.
Questions (including group registration inquiries) may be directed to ncss.training.iod@unh.edu.
