Last week, our @ECHO_ONMH team came together to plan our new program on brain health and developmental disabilities starting later this spring #AllTeachAllLearn Interested in learning more about our brain health program? Email us at [email protected] #BrainHealthMonth

Today, on #WorldDownSyndromeDay, our Brain Health-IDD team member Paul, reminds us of the importance of keeping your brain active in different ways to maintain brain health. #AssumeThatICan 💙💛
We asked one of our self advocates on the Brain Health-IDD team on how they keep their brain healthy. Hear what they said below! 👇 #BrainHealthAwarenessWeek
We recognize the importance of brain health in not only people with intellectual and developmental disabilities but their caregivers as well! #BrainHealthAwarenessWeek
It’s #BrainHealthAwarenessWeek!🧠Get ready for a week-long journey where we share why brain health matters! Hear from one of the caregivers from our Brain Health-IDD project team. 👇
