March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month

This month, we celebrate the contributions of people with developmental disabilities and recognize the importance of inclusion in all aspects of life—education, employment, recreation, and civic engagement.

2025 Theme: “We’re Here All Year!”

This year’s theme emphasizes that accessibility, community, and opportunities for individuals with developmental disabilities should be championed every day—not just in March.

Check out the new Arc-TV video featuring amazing community members enjoying everyday moments—grabbing a cup of coffee, having fun, and living life to the fullest!

A Look Back

National Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month was first recognized in 1987, marking a significant step forward in advocacy for individuals with developmental disabilities, including autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, epilepsy, intellectual disabilities, and spina bifida. Join us in celebrating and advocating for a more inclusive community where everyone has the opportunity to thrive!
