Did you know March is National Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month? ๐งก
Established in 1987 by President Ronald Reagan, this month is dedicated to raising awareness and encouraging communities to recognize the strengths and potential of individuals with developmental disabilities.
Developmental disabilities can affect movement, learning, communication, and daily living skills. In fact, about 1 in 6 children in the United States has a developmental disability.
Early support through physical, occupational, and speech therapy can help children strengthen important developmental skills, improve independence, and build confidence in everyday activities.
During Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, we celebrate the unique abilities of every child and continue working toward more inclusive communities.
