Union General Pediatrics would like to recognize that every March, the National Association of Councils on Developmental Disabilities (NACDD) and its partners collaborate to lead Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month (DDAM).
The 2026 NACDD's 2026 theme is We're Here: Then, Now, Always. This national campaign recognizes a simple truth: people with developmental disabilities have always been part of our communities - and always will be.
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.
Established in 1987 by President Ronald Reagan, Developmental Awareness Month highlights the importance of fostering a society where people with disabilities are empowered to contribute to their communities.
A variety of conditions fall into the category of developmental disabilities. However, early diagnosis is one of the keys to limiting the impact of disability on a child's long-term development. Developmental milestones are just a few milestones in a child's development. Families and physicians monitor these milestones to identify possible delays.
At Union General Pediatrics we would like to bring awareness to these abilities to offer early detection by scheduling your child for their well child checks or offering appointments for any concerns.
To make an appointment or for any questions, please give our office a call at (706) 439-6165.
