The Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities, Division of Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities, Office of Transitions and the Office of Human Resources & Learning is pleased to announce the 2023 DD Learning Collaborative.

This year’s theme is Shifting the Landscape: From Being to Belonging! We are excited to add a pre-conference on June 13, 2023 this year! The pre-conference will focus on autism, inclusion, community and innovation.

We will have multiple topics targeted to providing resources and tools available to help support individuals to become the best version of themselves while meeting the individuals’ particular needs. I am so excited to be a keynote speaker for this event.

The attendees will be exposed to noted and respected experts in the field through plenary sessions, interactive workshops, and organizational exhibit tables. Subject-matter experts will lead workshops organized for all levels of service providers from managers to paraprofessionals.

Each designated session has a series of workshops that are focused on topics such as communication, relationship building, and leadership, just to name a few! Join us for this premiere opportunity where we bring all levels of service providers together to learn best practices, what’s new in statewide trends, enhance behavioral supports, reduce critical incidents, and increase ways to develop an effective and efficient workforce.
