Best Buddies International (BBI) promotes friendship, employment, and leadership opportunities for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Participants are paired with typically developing peers and helped to form meaningful friendships that may lead to improved self-advocacy, communication skills, social participation, and community involvement. Community integration is achieved by partnering individuals with special needs with those without special needs for social interaction (BBI, 2018).
