Affiliated Faculty Seminar Series
Supporting Students with IDD Through the Education Experience
Each presentation will cover the impact on the IDD population as it relates to their educational experience. World-renowned Texas A&M University faculty members will be sharing their research, knowledge, and experiences related to the topic of that month. This series is an interactive 1.5-hour seminar designed to increase knowledge and awareness for people with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) among faculty, staff, students, and community members at Texas A&M University and beyond. The seminar is meant to promote strong dialogue about issues and information surrounding supporting students with IDD through the education experience. In doing so, the CDD Affiliated Faculty Seminar Series will work to promote positive, equitable, accepting attitudes towards people with disabilities on campus, in schools, and in the community.
