LEARN MORE! National Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month
Side-by-Side Campaign of 2016
March is National Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month. In an effort to spread awareness about developmental disabilities, the National Association of Councils on Developmental Disabilities (NACDD), Association of University Centers on Disabilities (AUCD), and National Disability Rights Network (NDRN) are partnering to launch a social media campaign (Side-by-Side) to highlight the many ways in which people with and without developmental disabilities come together to form strong, diverse communities. The campaign seeks to raise awareness about the inclusion of people with developmental disabilities in all facets 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.
Partnering organizations will distribute a Social Media Calendar containing 23 (the number of work days in March) unique links to statistical information, quotes, resources, and stories related to developmental disabilities. Councils, Centers, organizations, and individuals are invited to use the information contained in the calendar directly or inspire their own "Side by Side" social media posts during March 2016.
