March Shout Out

Each March, the National Association of Councils on Developmental Disabilities (NACDD) partners with Association for University Centers on Disabilities (AUCD) and National Disability Rights Network (NDRN) to create a social media campaign that highlights the many ways in which people with and without disabilities come together to form strong, diverse communities.
 
The campaign seeks to raise awareness about the inclusion of people with developmental disabilities in all areas of community life, as well as awareness to the barriers that people with disabilities still sometimes face in connecting to the communities in which they live.
 
Governor Tom Wolf has signed a proclamation highlighting Pennsylvania’s accomplishments towards the goal of full inclusion for individuals with developmental disabilities.
On March 3rd, PPDB exhibited alongside the Pennsylvania Deaf-Blind Project to provide awareness of our organizations and deafblindness at the Disability and Mental Health Summit, sponsored by Rep. Dan Miller.  This year’s event also celebrated the 30th anniversary of the passage of the landmark Americans with Disabilities Act.  There were more than 40 informative sessions and hundreds of exhibitors for the more than 1,100 people registered to attend.
Join the Conversation on Social Media by sharing your stories using #DDawareness2020.
