March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month
Each March, the National Association of Councils on Developmental Disabilities (NACDD) works together with its partners to create a social media campaign that highlights the ways in which people with disabilities come together to form strong, diverse communities with those without disabilities.
This year's theme is "A World of Opportunities."
