There are only a few days left in March, which is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month. But, as the National Association of Councils on Developmental Disabilities reminds us, DD Awareness isn't just about March, because "We're Here. Then, Now, Always." @nacdd.bsky.social #DDAwarenessMonth
Join us in recognizing that our communities are stronger when everyone is included. Together, we can build a future where all people have the support and opportunities they need to reach their full potential.

Caring for one another and building systems that allow people to live with dignity is part of the common good we share. That is the responsibility of leadership, and it is the work ahead.

Black and White image of a group of people crawling up the steps of the U.S. Capitol Building. The image has some text. The text reads: March 12, 1990. Disability rights activists abandoned wheelchairs and mobility aids to crawl up the capitol steps. Text also credits the photo to the Associated Press. Text also has the NACDD logo and the DD Awareness Month tagline: We're Here. Then, now, always.
Happy Capitol Crawl Anniversary. On March 12, 1990, disability advocates fought for stronger civil rights protections by dropping out of their wheelchairs and mobility devices and crawling up the US Capitol steps. Happy Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month. @nacdd.bsky.social #DDAwarenessMonth
A healthcare system that was not always built with everyone in mind. Achievable Health exists to close that gap.

March is Developmental Disability Awareness Month! My bill AB 815 fixes a loophole that makes it tough for social service workers to get auto insurance by clarifying that they can’t be required to buy commercial policies, so they can continue to serve our disability community! #DDAwarenessMonth
"Mass firings at the U.S. Department of Education will severely compromise families' ability to ensure that the rights of their children with disabilities are upheld, advocates warn."
