  • ACRONYMS | Autism Support Community

    Intellectual and Developmental Disability Acronym Lookup Have you been in a meeting that seems like they are speaking another language? Sometimes presenters, professionals, and school personnel forget that not everyone speaks the same jargon. The most common use is Acronyms (an abbreviation formed from the initial letters of a longer name or phrase). The Developmental Disability community is filled with them. They often forget that not everyone knows the shorthand. This can create barriers for families who are trying to learn the system. It gets even more confusing when translated into other languages and the first letters no longer match! This is an evolving list to look up the meanings. Our list is currently under construction. Please be patient as we try to add as many acronyms as we can find as soon as possible.
