Welcome to Solace. Dedicated to providing a warm haven for families of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), We are aware of the particular difficulties you encounter when dealing with the wide range of IDD, which includes autism spectrum disorder, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, and fragile X syndrome. We see it as a shared journey with you rather than just a mission. Families with IDD frequently find themselves in unfamiliar situations. At Solace, we want you to know that you’re not alone. Even though the road ahead may be difficult, if we work together, we can overcome it with compassion and understanding.

We pledge to close the sizable resource gap for people with IDD who are 10 years of age and older. We understand that getting your loved ones access to quality care is not only essential but also a lifeline that promotes independence and self-sufficiency. Our two-month long, intensive in-person and online training program covers a wide range of subjects, including behavioral disorders, genetic disorders, healthy eating habits, trauma-informed care, depression, anxiety, and communication skills. It is designed with both expertise and empathy.

 

We provide a virtual hand in times of uncertainty by providing 12 one-hour online training sessions, 6 small group sessions for families in the DMV region, and 4 one-on-one home lessons. It’s not just a program, its a support system aimed at empowering people. We are aware that information is a strong ally, particularly when tackling the complexity of medical conditions. For this reason, we offer freely accessible, online medical videos created by compassionate experts. These resources are more than just knowledge sources; they’re a lifeline that you can always rely on.
