Disability Rights Advocates’ Post

Just an observation as we are 4 days into DD Awareness month I feel like it’s starting to become more about disability service providers and what they are doing and their work rather than what the individuals they support are doing in their communities. DD Awareness month was not created for disability service providers to use as a means to pump up their visibility as an organization it was created to highlight what actual people with I/DD are doing in their communities. I don’t want to hear any whining if this post has you feeling guilty maybe think about making some changes within your organizations as to how you approach I/DD awareness month. #DDAM2024
