DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES AWARENESS MONTH

DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES AWARENESS MONTH (DDAM)

March is National Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month (DDAM). The purpose of this designation is to raise awareness about the inclusion of people with developmental disabilities in all facets of community life. Another goal is to help others understand the barriers that people with disabilities still sometimes face in connecting to the communities in which they live.
