Each March, organizations around the country celebrate National Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month (NDDAM). This month is a time for us to rally together in the spirit of awareness for people with disabilities. This March, DCBDD is participating in or hosting a variety of events to spread the purpose of NDDAM throughout Delaware County.
