NADD

Since 1983, NADD has been dedicated to educating and training people on issues relating to the IDD/MI dual diagnosis through direct consultation and training, professional certification programs, conferences, and by publishing the most up-to-date information and research in the field of IDD/MI in books and through an academic journal.

Over the course of nearly 4 decades, we have improved the lives of thousands of individuals: people with IDD/MI, their families and the dedicated professionals who work with them, building a Bridge to Hope and a richer, fuller life.
