Developmental Disabilities

🧠 1 in 6 children in the United States have a developmental disability.

📚 Developmental disabilities include a wide range of lifelong conditions caused by mental and/or physical impairments.

🌱 Just like neurotypical people, individuals with developmental or intellectual disabilities are always learning — academically, socially, and in life skills.

🎓 With the right support, education, and training, they can continue building new skills and independence throughout their lives.

👥 People with developmental disabilities are as unique as anyone else — each with their own personality, strengths, interests, challenges, and story.

💛 Even individuals with the same diagnosis can be completely different from one another.
