The Fall 2026 Developmental Disabilities Lecture Series will be held via Zoom. 

Attendance is free of charge and open to people who live or work in New Jersey.

Across the nation, state systems are grappling with how to meaningfully support people with co-occurring I/DD and mental health needs. This session will provide a high-level overview of how states are addressing these needs and share key takeaways, policy trends, and lessons learned through the national work of The Link Center. Attendees will gain actionable insights into national systems change initiatives and effective cross-system knowledge-building strategies designed to break down traditional silos, enhance workforce capacity, and deliver holistic, person-centered supports.
