We're is excited to kick off March with @National Association of Councils on Developmental Disabilities a year-round disabilities awareness campaign that reminds everyone that “We’re Here All Year.” Community, accessibility, and opportunities for people with developmental disabilities should be recognized and championed every day—not just in March.
