The Nevada Governor’s Council on Developmental Disabilities is excited to announce our 2025 Lunch and Learn Series!
There will be 1-3 Webinars per month on various disability related topics!
Registration is only required for each series to receive materials and a link for virtual attendance. Attendance is FREE and open to anyone, but content is specifically tailored to self-advocates, family members, and professionals from the disability community.
We encourage anyone who would like to learn about these topics to attend and share the information!
