Adult Literacy Ohio: Adults with Intellectual and Development Disabilities IDD Survey

 

Dear Ohioan:

 

We are preparing to meet with state leaders to discuss the possibility of growing our program to include ANY adult Ohioan with a developmental disability who has an interest in improving their reading skills. To that end, we are working with Ohio Center on Autism and Low Incidence (OCALI) to collect survey responses. The more demand we can illustrate for our program, the better chance we have of securing additional resources to ensure its longevity and accessibility for ALL who are interested. We would be so grateful if you could take a few minutes to share in your networks! Please find details below and don’t hesitate to reach out if you have questions!

 

We are looking for adults with intellectual and development disabilities (IDD) over the age of 18 to complete a very brief survey about their interest in improving their reading skills as an adult (post high school). The survey can be completed independently by the person with IDD or with support from a family member or other support person.  

 

The survey is being conducted by ElevateDD and supported by the Ohio Center on Autism and Low Incidence (OCALI). ElevateDD’s mission is to increase authentic inclusion for people with developmental disabilities by amplifying voices, supporting families, illuminating opportunities, and launching innovative solutions. Through ElevateDD’s brand, Adult Literacy Ohio, we want to hear from adults with developmental disabilities about their interest and needs related to reading.

 

Those completing the survey who provide their contact information will be entered into a drawing to win one of 20 Walmart $25 gift cards, provided by ElevateDD. The deadline to participate is May 24.
