DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES AWARENESS MONTH - MARCH 2025
In 1987, President Reagan first recognized March as Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month. Developmental disabilities occur among all racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups. Recent estimates in the United States show that about 1 in 6, or about 17%, of children aged 3 through 17 years have one or more developmental disabilities. Examples of these impairments include but are not limited to autism spectrum disorders, cerebral palsy, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), hearing loss, Fragile X syndrome, Tourette syndrome, and others.
Every person, with a disability or not, has a right to have basic needs met. Every individual with a developmental disability deserves to have the same access to pursue happiness, hopes, wants, and dreams as an individual without a developmental disability.
