March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, which makes this the right time to help us spread this very important message about empathy! According to the American Community Survey, 1 in 7 Ohioans has a disability. Not all of them are visible.

Please help us create awareness by distributing BCBDD coasters to your favorite local businesses, organizations, or non-profits in the Butler County area! You can grab your stack of coasters by visiting the Janet Clemmons Center located at 282 N. Fair Ave. in Hamilton, Ohio, Monday-Thursday between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.!

Words matter more than we sometimes realize!

In honor of DD Awareness Month, we’re sharing a quick “Say This, Not That” video featuring Community Outreach Advocate, Courtney Hineman! In this video, Courtney helps show how we can all be more mindful, respectful, and inclusive in the way we talk about and to people with developmental disabilities.

Small changes in language can make a big difference in creating a more welcoming community for everyone. Take a moment to watch, learn, and help us spread awareness!

On Saturday, Community Outreach Advocate Courtney Hineman continued spreading DD Awareness, this time at the Fairfield Youth Town Hall!

Courtney shared who we are, the supports she receives, and her personal journey as both a BCBDD employee and client. She also spoke about how her parents supported her in reaching her goal of living independently.

Thank you, Courtney, for being such a powerful advocate and sharing your story!

Tonight at Speak Up, our self-advocacy group, we celebrated DD Awareness Month! Connie Mehlman visited to discuss voting rights, Courtney Hineman read a story called “All The Way To The Top” about a young girl who advocated for her rights in a huge way, and those that attended learned how to create a gratitude journal! If you are interested in using your voice in the disability community through Speak Up contact Courtney Hineman at crhineman@butlerdd.org.

Happy World Down Syndrome Day!

On World Down Syndrome Day, we celebrate the incredible individuals with Down syndrome who enrich our communities with their talents, perspectives, and achievements!

The date, 3/21, represents the triplication (trisomy) of the 21st chromosome that causes Down syndrome. Today is a time to raise awareness, promote inclusion, and celebrate the value and contributions of people with Down syndrome in our schools, workplaces, and communities!

Join us in recognizing and celebrating the amazing individuals who help make our community stronger every day! Feel free to share how you are celebrating World Down Syndrome Day in our comments section!
