Read more We're Here All Year stories in our gallery: https://bit.ly/WereHereAllYear

Each week, we share a real story from a person with an intellectual or developmental disability (I/DD). These stories show how people with I/DD live, lead, and speak up in their communities across the U.S.

These are real stories that remind us why disability rights and inclusion matter every day — not just during a specific day or month of the year.

Thank you to our friends at Missouri Developmental Disabilities Council for helping us collect these stories!
