NASDDDS is pleased to release the first resource in a collaborative series developed by the National Core Indicators® – Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (NCI®-IDD) and The Link Center to advance understanding of the experiences and outcomes of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) who have co-occurring mental health conditions. By combining NCI’s nationally recognized data with The Link Center’s expertise in improving systems of care, this series is designed to help states move from data to action. https://www.nasddds.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Mental-Health-Brief-2023-24-1-1.pdf
