The month of March brings awareness to the Developmental Disability community.
A developmental disability is identified as a group of conditions due to an impairment in physical, learning, language or behavior. These start during the child's developmental period, are typically lifelong, and impact day-to-day functioning.
Developmental disabilities may present unique challenges, but they do not define a person’s potential for joy, purpose, or fulfillment. With understanding, support, and inclusive communities, individuals can build meaningful relationships, pursue their strengths, and live long, happy, and rewarding lives.
At FREEDOM, we encourage you to join us in spreading awareness and celebrating individuals by wearing orange this month and supporting local inclusive organizations!
