🧡 As we wrap up Developmental Disability Awareness Month, we feel it’s important to remember that people with developmental disabilities are valuable members of our communities who deserve full participation in all aspects of life, and our communities are improved by their presence! 🫶There are so many ways you can support and advocate for individuals with disabilities in your community. Take a look at this carousel of images for ideas, from visiting businesses that employ individuals with IDD to donating thoughtfully to organizations like Holy Angels. These small but meaningful actions can make a big difference in fostering community. However different, we are all able! Learn more about Holy Angels at HolyAngelsNC.org

In honor of Developmental Disability Awareness Month, we’re here to debunk common misconceptions about people with disabilities. 🚨 Myth: People with developmental disabilities can’t have meaningful jobs. ✅ Fact: Given the opportunity, they excel in diverse careers! From working in restaurants to creative fields, their dedication and skills bring value to the workplace. 🚨 Myth: You should avoid talking about disabilities because it’s rude. ✅ Fact: Open, respectful conversations foster inclusion and understanding! Avoiding the topic reinforces stigma—let’s normalize discussing accessibility and needs. 🚨 Myth: Having a developmental disability means someone isn’t intelligent. ✅ Fact: Intelligence comes in many forms! People with developmental disabilities have unique strengths, talents, and perspectives that enrich our world. At Holy Angels, we believe in the possibilities that lie within each individual, regardless of physical and mental ability, and we know that many people with IDD are more capable than they’re often given credit for! 🎨📚💡 What’s one thing you’ve learned from someone with a disability?
