Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month

For many of us in the disability community, every day is Awareness day! But every March we try to spend a little extra time advocating and spreading awareness in the spirit of National Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month. We are striving for a universe where all people can thrive and live personally fulfilling lives.

DCBDD has several different initiatives and events planned throughout the month. Take a look at the list below! We hope you will join us for some or all of them!
