Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has proclaimed March 2024 DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES AWARENESS MONTH.

https://mn.gov/mnddc/news/pdf/Developmental-Disabilities-Awareness-Month-Signed-03-01-24.pdf



WHEREAS: 2024 marks the 54th anniversary of the United States Congress passing the Federal Developmental Disabilities and Bill of Rights Act (DD Act); and

WHEREAS: The DD Act defines developmental disabilities as a natural part of the human experience that do not diminish the right of individuals to live independently, exert control and choice over their own lives, and fully participate in and contribute to their communities. Those with developmental disabilities should benefit from the full integration and inclusion in the economic, political, social, cultural, and educational mainstream of society; and

WHEREAS: Approximately 1.58 percent of people in Minnesota have a developmental disability; and

WHEREAS: Individuals with developmental disabilities deserve opportunities to make informed decisions about their own lives, including resources, education, and a reliable framework of community members to offer support; and

WHEREAS: Individuals with developmental disabilities can make choices to live in homes and communities in which they can exercise their full rights, pursue meaningful and productive lives, have independent relationships, and contribute to their families, communities, state, and nation; and

WHEREAS: Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month fosters connection for individuals and families to share their experiences and knowledge with others; and

WHEREAS: It is crucial that individuals with developmental disabilities can live free of abuse, neglect, and violations of their legal and human rights. Our communities should be inclusive spaces that support and achieve full integration in an individualized manner, consistent with the unique strengths, resources, priorities, concerns, abilities, and capabilities of everyone.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, TIM WALZ, Governor of Minnesota, do hereby proclaim March 2024 as DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES AWARENESS MONTH.

Congrats, Kara, on 40 years! Enjoy your retirement!

After an incredible 40-year journey at ABC, Kara Smerud has retired!

She spent her time working in the community at Subway and Quillins IGA and loved spending Fridays at ABC Works in LaCrescent enjoying her favorite chicken dinner and a breakfast donut with friends and staff.

We sent her off “Kara-style” at the end of January, with Bingo, cake, ice cream, and lots of laughter. Cheers to your next adventure, Kara! You will be deeply missed at ABC! 🎉

You will be deeply missed by your ABLE family, Jaimee. 💛

View Jaimee Robert Seeling's obituary, send flowers, find service dates, and sign the guestbook.
