Listening to Parents' Voices: The TRAIN team just released it's final report regarding focus groups conducted with parents of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities.  We hope that by sharing these important parent voices, we will be able to make a real difference as we attempt to increase community participation, access, and inclusion by those with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including autism spectrum disorder, in Greensboro and surrounding communities.
