Did you know that March 2026 is officially Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month in our great state of Missouri?
Governor Mike Kehoe recently shared an important message in his Proclamation: disability is a natural part of life and makes our world stronger.
This month, we focus on breaking down barriers and ending the practice of keeping people with disabilities separate from others.
When our communities include everyone, we all benefit from the unique talents and skills of people with disabilities.
How we can take action:
- Change how people think: Help others see the value in every person.
- Demand fair rules: Support policies that give everyone an equal chance.
- Support independence: Work together so everyone can live a full, productive life.
