Friends of the Care Project (FOTCP) will host the Intellectual Disability Forum 2026, a community event designed to unite families, professionals, educators, advocates, and community members around the issue of intellectual disabilities in Antigua and Barbuda. According to Antigua News Room, the forum is scheduled for Friday, April 17, 2026, at the Metropolitan University College of Medicine, running from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
The event, themed "Empowering Individuals in Antigua and Barbuda," aims to support children, adults, and families navigating the challenges associated with intellectual disabilities.
Organisers say the forum will focus on several key areas, including promoting inclusion and equal opportunity, supporting families and caregivers, sharing available resources and services, building broader community awareness, and strengthening advocacy efforts across the country.
FOTCP describes the forum as a safe and supportive space where participants can share experiences, have their voices heard, and collectively explore practical solutions.
