Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month started in 1987 under President Ronald Reagan with a focus on moving people with disabilities out of big institutions and into the community. In 2019, the campaign seeks to raise awareness about the inclusion of people with developmental disabilities in all areas of community life, as well as awareness to the barriers that people with disabilities still sometimes face in connecting to the communities in which they live.
DD Awareness Month covers three main areas: 1) Education, 2) Employment, and 3) Community Living. As we at Portal, inc continue to raise awareness, we also celebrate each individual’s gifts and show our appreciate for the family members who support inclusion and give tirelessly to reduce barriers and enhance opportunities for people with developmental disabilities. |
