It is with great pleasure that I introduce you
to this new publication, NH for All, from
the NH Council on Developmental Disabilities
(NHCDD). We at NHCDD are dedicated
to bringing our community information,
resources, and stories of community
inclusion as part of our work.

We have worked hard this year to collaborate
and advocate for the access and wellness
that every individual with disabilities deserves.
Together with our DD Act partners,
the Disability Rights Center NH and the
Institute on Disability at UNH, we have been
battling cuts and attacks on disability related
organizations and funding that threaten years
of progress in the disability justice movement.

We must continue to advocate for the
safeguards and freedoms that ensure choice
and access in NH communities. These include
inclusion in affordable and accessible housing, competitive and integrated employment, transportation access, civic engagement
opportunities, and meaningful social and
recreational options. Everyone deserves
inclusion, regardless of the support they need.

Despite the challenges we have encountered
this past year, there is still much to celebrate.
This year marks the 35th anniversary of the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and also
the 50th anniversary of the DD Act. These two
important pieces of Federal legislation help
protect and defend the civil rights of people
with disabilities in the US. Please join our
efforts to create a more accessible NH.

Sincerely,
Isadora Rodriguez-Legendre
Executive Director, NH Council
on Developmental Disabilities

Another incredible summer at Camp Allen NH has come to a close. 🏕

From building life skills and friendships to exploring new experiences, our campers made unforgettable memories and achieved so much together. While we’re sad to see the season end, we’re already looking ahead by planning more good things and exciting opportunities for the next camp season.

Thank you to our campers, families, staff, caregivers, volunteers and community partners who made the '25 summer such a success. Together, we continue to create a place to discover all abilities!

Camp Allen NH's Life Camp group had a wonderful day visiting our friends at the New Hampshire SPCA!

This small group rolled up their sleeves and helped check off items on the NHSPCA’s to-do list. From organizing supplies to giving toys to the animals, they put their hearts into every task.

One especially sweet moment: the kitten our campers met was adopted later that same day and is already in her furever home. 🐱 The pup they played with is still waiting for a family, but hasn’t let go of his favorite toy – a crocodile he picked out from the pile our campers sorted.

Thank you to NHSPCA for welcoming us so warmly and for giving our campers the chance to learn and give back in such a meaningful way. See you next summer!

Last month, we welcomed the family of beloved camper Ed Stein, Jr. back to Camp Allen New Hampshire for a very special dinner in his memory. Ed, who passed away last year, brought so much joy to camp - whether he was enjoying a swim in the pool or a meal with friends in the dining hall.

His family, joined by Ed’s caregiver Josh Browne and Josh’s son Isley, unveiled a beautiful plaque now hanging by the fireplace in the dining hall. It’s a lasting tribute to the warmth, laughter and love he shared here for nearly two decades.

Thank you to Kathleen Stein, Susan Leahy and all who help keep Ed’s spirit alive at Camp Allen NH. His memory will continue to inspire smiles for years to come. 🧡
