ICI Staff Newsletter "FYI" August 2024

Abstract

The Institute's monthly staff newsletter features news of recent activities, accomplishments, and resources. The first feature story concerns ICI and others urging federal officials to create a Standard Occupational Classification code for direct support professionals. The second feature is about the new issue of Impact, which deals with addiction among people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The third feature is about the upcoming Check & Connect conference in September. The final feature story is about last month's Disability Pride Festival. This month's Update concerns MNLEND fellow Sophie Iverson, who explains disability policy and procedures to people with disabilities and their families. She speaks from firsthand experience: Iverson herself has disabilities.
