  • Did you know that March is Developmental Disability Awareness Month? We're kicking off our awareness with some information that may surprise you: 1 in 6 children in the United States has a developmental disability. One in six. Whether these disabilities are visible or not, that's about FOUR CHILDREN in every classroom who may be struggling with physical, learning, language, or behavioral skills. We'll be sharing information on developmental disabilities throughout the month. The more we learn, the more we can promote access and inclusion for every child.
