Since its inception, NADD has worked to improve access to appropriate services for people with a dual diagnosis of IDD and mental illness. The division of responsibility between the mental health and IDD service systems has resulted, all too often, in a denial of comprehensive care and treatment for individuals who have IDD co-occurring with a serious mental health problem.

NADD has been successful in promoting services that bridge the gap between the mental health and developmental disabilities structures.

NADD is a not-for-profit membership association established for professionals, care providers and families to promote understanding of and services for individuals who have developmental disabilities and mental health needs. The mission of NADD is to advance mental wellness for persons with developmental disabilities through the promotion of excellence in mental health care.

NADD is recognized as the world’s leading organization in providing educational services, training materials and conferences. NADD has been influential in the development of appropriate community based policies, programs and opportunities in addressing the mental health needs of persons with mental retardation.

NADD provides consultation and training services internationally: to individuals, organizations, or government agencies on a wide variety of topics concerning mental health and wellness for people with intellectual disabilities.

NADD has been the leading authority in consultative and training services on these topics for close to 40 years.  Consultations and trainings are provided by subject matter experts and focus on research-backed practices and information.

NADD works directly with the organization or professional seeking consultation or training to develop a solution that meets their specific needs and goals. The consultation and trainings may be singular or ongoing. A popular choice in many organizations is the NADD Train-the-Trainer model we developed to assist organizations in developing master trainers of the subject matter being trained.
