Community mapping helps people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) identify the people, places and resources that can support them to be active in their community and live as independently as possible.
Relationship mapping is a tool to help people with intellectual or developmental disabilities (IDD) identify the important people in their life and the kinds of support they offer. It helps others in their lives understand these relationships so they can maintain or strengthen them as needs change.
