March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness month.  In 1987, President Ronald Reagan made a public proclamation - dedicating the month to increasing public awareness of the needs and potential of Americans with developmental disabilities.  The goal is the same today and also focuses on the importance of inclusion and living life side-by-side.  This year’s theme is “See Me for Me!” 

The National Association of Councils on Developmental Disabilities, the Association of University Centers on Disabilities, and the National Disability Rights Network are asking people to share their stories, photos, and resources far and wide to expand the conversation of inclusion and accessibility.

How to Participate:

• Share stories, photos, and videos that expand the conversation of inclusion and disability on your social media channels using #DDawareness18
• Search social media for #DDawareness18 and like, comment on, share, and retweet the posts from others

What does inclusion mean to you?  That’s the question posed to people with and without disabilities in this video by Informing Families to celebrate National Developmental Disabilities month.
