Empowering you not to do it all by yourself
Our Vision. Wouldn't it be great if Northern Virginia's (NOVA) families who are managing Developmental Disabilities (DD) could go to ONE on-line location where they could get information by meeting and talking with service providers and experts and by sharing what they have learned with others who are on the same journey?
We flatten stope-piped information sources and expand the richness of in-person resource fairs in a virtual Community of Practice environment.
About Us
NOVA IDD Group Genius, a 501c3 non-profit organization
This capability was initially built by a Family who faced the challenge of raising a child with developmental disabilities and were determined to share the lessons they learned with other Families. Since the start of this effort in the Fall of 2024 it has rapidly matured into a "Team of Teams" of over 80 organizations collaborating to bring information and services to struggling Families.
Our Board of Directors includes:
- Doug McCallum, a retired military officer, leveraging his planning and teambuilding experience;
- Sarah Rotbart, a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT), leveraging her ability to connect and understand Family dynamics and needs; and.
- Sylvia McCallum, who leverages her information technology and business acumen.
