The The Arc of the United States National Convention brings together advocates, self-advocates, families, professionals, and policymakers dedicated to advancing the rights and inclusion of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The multi-day event features educational sessions, policy discussions, inspiring keynote speakers, and networking opportunities designed to strengthen advocacy efforts and promote community inclusion nationwide. As the premier national gathering for The Arc centers and their partners, the convention serves as a cornerstone event for leadership, collaboration, and forward-thinking initiatives within the ID/DD community.
SideLyer will engage with Arc leaders, program partners, and advocacy stakeholders who are focused on advancing person-centered supports and improving daily quality of life. As organizations work to expand inclusive services while addressing complex health and mobility needs, practical solutions that enhance comfort, positioning, and skin protection become increasingly important. SideLyer’s approach supports these goals by helping reduce preventable complications and promoting dignity, safety, and meaningful participation in community-based and residential settings.
