Participants from Northwest Autism Center were taught basketball skills by Brennan Besser, a walk-on for Duke University, as part of a nationwide campaign to raise awareness for the intellectual and developmental disability community. The campaign idea came to life in part from Besser's sister, Rachel Besser, due to realizing the severe challenges their sister Jacqueline faces as someone who is part of the IDD community.
