Awareness starts with having the right information in the right place. During Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month (DDAM), many people often search for DD-related information for the first time or explore topics they haven’t needed before. Here are a few simple ways to use TNPathfinder.org to find what you need quickly.
Use AI‑Assisted Search to type in a specific need (for example, early intervention, IEP evaluation, waiver services, AAC/communication devices, behavior support, respite, transition to adulthood, or guardianship alternatives) and jump straight to relevant results.
🗂️ Refine Results with On‑Page Filters
Once you see results, apply filters like topic of interest or location to focus on what fits your situation and reduce scrolling.
