Every person deserves the opportunity to live with dignity, purpose, and belonging.
March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month. This month is an important time to recognize and honor the abilities, talents, and contributions of individuals with developmental disabilities. Individuals with developmental disabilities are an integral part of our society, making meaningful contributions to our communities, workplaces, and culture.
We recognize the need to eliminate barriers, increase understanding, and promote inclusivity so that all individuals can lead fulfilling and independent lives, and we encourage all Pennsylvanians to support and recognize the contributions of individuals with developmental disabilities, as we strive to create a world of belonging, accessibility, and equal opportunity for all.
