Today is World Kindness Day. Let’s remember that kindness means creating a world where everyone feels valued—including people with disabilities. Saying hi, making sure conversations are inclusive, or learning about accessibility are all ways to show kindness. It’s not just about grand gestures—small, everyday actions can break down barriers and create a sense of belonging. People with disabilities often face isolation, exclusion, or misunderstandings. By taking a moment to listen, offer support, or simply make room, you can help build a more inclusive community.

We would like to recognize Michelle Curtis our Executive Director as she starts her 18th year with The Arc of the Mid Ohio Valley today.

Michelle started her time with The Arc of the Mid Ohio Valley by assisting with programming such as Assistive Technology and by working as an Interim Service Coordinator for WV Birth to Three. She then spent over 10 years as Region 2 WV Birth to Three Early Intervention Program’s Regional Administrative Unit Director before becoming Executive Director in November of 2022. Michelle is passionate and dedicated both to the staff and the people we serve with developmental differences and we are very fortunate to have her leading our organization. She is pictured here (on the right) with Katy Neas, Chief Executive Officer of The Arc of the United States which was taken at the recent National Convention in Columbus, Ohio.

Congratulations on this milestone and thank you for all you do!

November is National Family Caregivers Month. We honor the dedication, resilience, and compassion of caregivers who support family members with disabilities—from help with daily activities to emotional support. An estimated 53 million people in the U.S. support a family member who is aging or disabled. Many make significant sacrifices to provide round-the-clock care. They face challenges like isolation, exhaustion, and financial strain. But caregiving is an act of love, and the unwavering commitment of our caregivers makes a big difference every day.

Join us this National Family Caregivers Month (and every month!) in recognizing and celebrating caregivers nationwide. Caregivers, you are not alone.
