CAMERAS ON! THE MICS ARE HOT! On the First Friday of each month during the spring and fall, ACCSES invites members to attend carefully curated, interactive calls hosted by leaders in government, policy, healthcare, and business to discuss the key issues of our time.

If you attended the ACCESS Conference in January, you may have heard Dr. Craig Escudé present “Clinical Pearls in IDD Healthcare.” Join us for our First Friday Call on April 3 for Part 2 of this important discussion. If you did not attend the ACCSES 2026 Winter Summit, Dr. Escudé will recap key highlights from his presentation and explore additional topics, including a deeper dive into the Fatal Five Plus—the leading preventable causes of death among people with IDD—as well as how adverse behaviors can signal underlying medical conditions.

ACCSES First Friday calls are open to ACCSES members only.  We encourage all interested leadership and staff of member organizations to attend and if you didn’t get an email invitation, please contact Sarah Saar at ssaar@accses.org
