Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month highlights the need to create opportunities and make the world more accessible for everyone. For people with developmental disabilities, this means: ? Celebrating their strengths—not just accommodating their needs. ? Accessing meaningful jobs, friendships, and independence. ? Living in a world that adapts to them, not vice versa. ? What steps can we take as individuals or as a community to make the world more accessible and supportive? Share your thoughts below!
