March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month—a time to celebrate the contributions of individuals with developmental disabilities and recognize the importance of inclusion in all aspects of life, from education and employment to recreation and community engagement. At the #CTAFoundation, we support efforts to ensure that people of all abilities have access to technologies that enhance independence and opportunity. Creating a more inclusive world means making sure everyone has the chance to participate and thrive—not just in March, but all year long. This year, the National Association of Councils on Developmental Disabilities (NACDD) leads the charge with the theme "We’re Here All Year", reinforcing that disability inclusion should be recognized every day.
