March is National Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month- an entire month when Americans are asked to pay greater attention to both the needs and potential of people with developmental disabilities. 

“It is wonderful that Americans are asked to raise their awareness of the needs and accomplishments of people with disabilities during the month of March,” said Sid Blanchard, executive director of Community Access Unlimited. “Yet for our members, Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month is a month-long celebration of what they achieve 12 months a year,” (NJ.com).

In declaring March Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month in 1987, President Reagan encouraged all Americans to offer their fellow citizens with disabilities both encouragement and opportunities to achieve their full potential (NJ.com). 

At ADA Lifestyles, that’s exactly what we do! We offer those with developmental disabilities an opportunity to live freely and independently within their own home and workplace by providing design and building solutions with full accessibility and functionality. 

Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month offers an opportunity to “focus on the challenges and achievements of people with disabilities,” said Blanchard. All year round, ADA Lifestyles is focusing not only on the challenges, but on the solutions to those challenges to increase the quality of life for those facing difficulties.
