Real Talk with Rita
Disability is a natural part of the human condition.
This channel focuses on creating positive outcomes for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities by providing relevant content for their family members and professionals who support them.
Examples of developmental disabilities that will be discussed are: autism, Down syndrome, and intellectual disability. There will be interviews with subject matter experts and live events for the community to connect.
Some of the subject matter is specific to one particular state... but that won't be for long!

If thoughts about the future keep you up at night, it might be time to channel that worry into action. I have been offering The Big Picture since 2021 and am excited to host another cohort.
✨ The 9th Cohort of The Big Picture kicks off Monday, May 5.
This crash course is designed specifically for parents and caregivers of adult children with developmental disabilities. Its goal is to help you plan, prepare, and feel more confident about what lies ahead.
What Makes This Cohort Different?
This time, I’m offering two flexible ways to participate—live and recorded—so you can choose what best fits your schedule.
✨ Live Experience:
Join us on Zoom to connect with other families, build community, and get your questions answered in real-time by subject matter experts. Can’t make it to a session? No worries — all sessions are recorded and shared weekly, so you won’t miss a thing.
📼 Recorded Option:
Prefer to learn on your own time? The self-paced option gives you full access to all the materials so you can go through the content when it works best for you.
💬 Already taken the course? You're always welcome back! Join us again for continued support, community, and a helpful refresher.
Currently, the cohort is for families in Georgia or planning to move to GA.

New livestream interview on March 31 @ 9:30am. I will be interviewing parents who have started a nonprofit to serve the community. Is it as easy or as difficult as it sounds?
