🌟Celebrating Connection During Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month

It was truly a pleasure connecting with the community at The Bridgeway School. We were honored to speak with their students, staff, and community members during Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month.

The students courageously shared their personal stories, and the KenCCID team had the opportunity to share ours as well. Moments like these remind us how powerful storytelling can be in building understanding, inclusion, and community.

We are deeply grateful to Erin and her wonderful team for creating this meaningful opportunity for connection and learning.

Myth vs. Reality

Myth: Individuals with disabilities cannot work.

Reality: Individuals with disabilities can work just like everyone else. With the right opportunities and support, they contribute valuable skills, dedication, and talent to the workplace.

Here is Daniel. He has worked at McDonald's for Over 8 years, and he loves it. Daniel is a great example of how individuals with disabilities thrive in their jobs and make meaningful contributions every day.

March is National Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month — a time to celebrate inclusion, amplify voices, and recognize the talents and contributions of individuals with developmental disabilities in our communities.

At KenCCID in Philadelphia, inclusion is more than a value — it’s a commitment. KenCCID works to create supportive spaces where individuals of all abilities are empowered, respected, and given opportunities to thrive.

This month reminds us that true community development means ensuring everyone has access, representation, and the chance to succeed. Together, we can continue building a more inclusive and compassionate future. đź’™

History

Kensington Community Corporation for Individual Dignity was conceptualized by several Philadelphia Families from the Kensington area of the city, some of whom had family members who were developmentally disabled. At the time of its founding, the era of court ordered de-institutionalization for the mentally ill into boarding homes and other unsupported environments was just beginning. Recognizing a need for services, these concerned Kensington residents worked diligently to form a non-profit corporation that would provide the quality lifestyle their loved ones deserved.

The charter for the Agency was signed in 1974, with its first Community Living Arrangement (CLA) opening in 1977. At the time of its opening, KenCCID welcomed three individuals from families and three from the infamous Pennhurst state institution (see video). The agency designed its support under the principles of Normalization and later enhanced their services with Person Centered Planning using Personal Outcome Measures.

Since then, KenCCID has worked diligently to provide people with developmental and intellectual disabilities the skills necessary to achieve the outcomes they want in their lives. The people we support are encouraged to provide for their own self-care, become responsible citizens and live a quality life as independently as possible.
