Every March, the National Association of Councils on Developmental Disabilities (NACDD) and its partners collaborate to lead Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month(DDAM), an annual campaign highlighting how people with and without disabilities form strong communities together. DDAM raises awareness of people with developmental disabilities in all aspects of community life and is a time to address barriers to their meaningful contributions at the local and state levels. NACDD's 2025 theme, We’re Here All Year, focuses on how people and programs are always contributing, not just during this observance.
