Every year during the month of March, we celebrate Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month and the many contributions of people with DD and their families to our communities and to our country.
This year, we had planned a series of blogs and social media to highlight the work of the DD network. However, over the last several weeks, we have shifted our focus almost entirely to responding to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This has been a challenging time for our country and the entire world, and the spread of the coronavirus has created hardships for everyone.
These are intensified for many people with disabilities. Many people with disabilities are at higher risk of complications from COVID-19.
