PRIDES Learning Series

The PRIDES Learning Series was created as a multi-format project dedicated to improving services for individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) who are part of the LGBTQIA2S+ community. The series engaged attendees through webinars, podcasts, and micro-lessons, offering flexible ways to learn and connect. This project elevated the leadership and expertise of presenters who live at the intersection of disability and LGBTQIA2S+ identity, centering the principle of Nothing About Us, Without Us. It addressed a gap in available training for employment providers and supported more inclusive, affirming practices across service systems.

The project consisted of 10 live webinars, 10 podcast interviews, and 10 micro-lessons. Content was designed to be accessed independently, allowing attendees to engage with learning over time.
