In collaboration with The Arc of California, VALOR is proud to present a new training series created to help build knowledge around the prevalence of sexual assault and people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) and improve services for survivors of sexual assault. This training series, created and presented by California Advocates Leading in Engagement, Accessibility and Developmental Disability Services (C.A. LEADDS) is one of the results of a three year OVW grant and consists of four 90 minute recordings.
