🚌💛 Happy School Bus Driver Day! 💛🚌

Today we want to say a heartfelt thank you to the incredible drivers who safely transport our students each and every day. Your patience, kindness, and dedication do not go unnoticed.

You are often the first smile our students see in the morning and the last one in the afternoon—and that matters more than you know.

We appreciate all that you do! 👏💙

Why Early Intervention Matters 💙

Please take a few minutes to listen to Kaley, Keegan’s mother.

She shares what so many families experience—how important it is to have someone walk beside you, support you, and help you navigate your child’s needs from the very beginning.

Our Early Intervention team doesn’t just provide services—they build relationships, offer reassurance, and help create life-changing outcomes for children and their families.

This is the impact of what we do!

During the month of March, WCBDD proudly recognized Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month by reading Everyone Belongs to 510 first-grade students across five local school districts.

This meaningful book encourages children to embrace differences, show kindness, and understand that everyone has a place where they belong.

We extend our sincere thanks to the school administrators for welcoming us, the students for their curiosity and engagement, and our staff who continue to make this outreach one of their favorite traditions each year.

We were also happy to leave behind 25 copies of the book to continue promoting inclusion in the classroom. 💙

WCBDD Service and Support Administrator, Casey Mercer, visited Salem-Liberty Elementary at Fort Frye to read Everyone Belongs with students. Through this story, he shared an important message about inclusion, kindness, and embracing differences.

Thank you to Salem-Liberty for welcoming us and allowing us to be part of such meaningful conversations with your students—we appreciate the opportunity to share the message that everyone truly belongs!
