Founded in 2000, IDDNA is a non-profit nursing organization affiliated with National DDNA. We strive to support the nurses working in the field of intellectual and developmental disabilities. Our affiliation with National DDNA enhances opportunities to network, share resources, and to support and empower Developmental Disabilities Nurses in Illinois.
We are changing our name to better reflect our expanded coverage across the entire state. We are doing this to provide you with training and virtual meeting opportunities.
