How does Ä¢¹½TV GIDDI benefit SWFL?

For Students
The Golisano Intellectual & Developmental Disability Initiative (GIDDI) is dedicated to fostering a diverse and inclusive environment at Ä¢¹½TV and throughout the Southwest Florida community. Students are welcome to get involved through on-campus events such as GIDDI Nights. GIDDI Nights offer our students meaningful indoor and outdoor events that incorporate educational components through interactive and social bonding activities. GIDDI also serves as a resource center for anyone at Ä¢¹½TV to discover and connect with local agencies that support the special needs community both on campus and throughout Southwest Florida.
For Parents and Caregivers
The Golisano Intellectual & Developmental Disability Initiative (GIDDI) is dedicated to providing support and education to the parents and caregivers in the community through forming a collaboration between Southwest Florida partners, ultimately becoming a hub for those who are willing to be accepting of individuals with unique abilities.


For Everyone
The Golisano Intellectual & Developmental Disability Initiative (GIDDI) provides educational lectures, presentations, and symposiums where the community can learn about the necessary efforts to make Ä¢¹½TV and Southwest Florida a more welcoming place for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and how to join the endeavor.
