Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month
March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month! This month reminds us that individuals with developmental disabilities are valuable members of our communities and deserve full participation in all aspects of life, including education, employment, recreation, and civic engagement.
This webinar celebrates the strength of Iowa families. Listen to the stories of families with real life experience as they navigate through services and support and persistently advocate for their children!
