Supporting LGBTQIA2S+ People who experience I/DD to be their authentic self
Please join us we share our perspectives as members of the LGBTQIA2S+ community and navigating DD services. Panelists will share personal experiences about what has worked and not worked for them so that they can help others have good experiences in the future. We are excited for an opportunity to support Case Management Entities to have the knowledge to support people to live their most authentic life, based on the real-life experiences of those who have been there!

My name is Camden Grosscup, and I am a trans, bisexual, and autistic nineteen year old. I receive services, and in my free time, I like to write poetry, collect stuffed animals, rockhound, and spend time with my loved ones. I am excited to be a part of this conference and of the panel "Supporting LGBTQIA2S+ People Who Experience I/DD to Be Their Authentic Self," and I look forward to using my lived experience and acquired knowledge to help others better support people like myself! I hope to see you there!
