Accessibility is so important, and this video does a great job of explaining it. We are doing our best at MCBDD to improve our own accessibility, in our building and in our digital communication. Let's all continue learning more together to ensure that everyone has the access they need to live as full members of our community.

For more information, we highly recommend checking out the Accessible Ohio resources available through the Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities website.

We're finishing March as Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month with a dine-to-donate fundraiser for Miami County Special Olympics on Tuesday, March 31 from 5-8pm.

Miami County Special Olympics is operated by the Miami County Board of Developmental Disabilities as an affiliate of Special Olympics Ohio and the internationally recognized Special Olympics organization. Miami County Special Olympics offers a wide variety of year-round individual and team sports for anyone with an intellectual disability, ages 8 and older. Sports included in Miami County are basketball, bocce, bowling, cheerleading, golf, softball, swimming and volleyball. Each program promotes athletes' emotional, physical and social health and instills a strong work-ethic and sense of teamwork.
