Appreciated the opportunity to engage in advocacy work at the #DDday last week with the Maryland Equity Coalition for People w Disabilities family

Why is Developmental Disabilities Day so important? Because it’s a day for people with developmental disabilities and their families to show up, share their stories, and make their voices heard at the Capitol. 

Watch to see why #DDDay matters:

Save the date!

The 2025 Developmental Disabilities Awareness Day will be on March 11, 2025, in Tallahassee, Florida!
