UCP Celebrates National Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month

March is National Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month (NDDAM) highlighting the many ways people with and without disabilities can come together to form strong, diverse communities. This campaign seeks to raise awareness of the need for inclusion of people with developmental disabilities in all aspects of life. Unfortunately, many misconceptions persist about individuals with disabilities, and we thought who better to enlighten us than the people who are affected by these misconceptions on a regular basis?

In the video below, UCP clients and their family members answer the question, “What do you want the community to know about individuals with disabilities?”
