Advocacy & Inclusion

During March, we celebrate how far we’ve come in supporting inclusion; but we must also shine a light on the inequities that still remain.

Earlier this year, we were given the incredible opportunity to spend some time with David and Adam Ragan. David is a NASCAR star and FOX Sports Analyst, and Adam, his older brother, is a disability advocate.

It’s a time for deep reflection and big ideas—but it’s also a time to remember all the little things we can each do every day to continue raising awareness about people with disabilities in our own communities.

Do you have a hidden disability? Learn about what a hidden disability is and some of the reasons that people with a hidden disability may disclose it.

The year 2021 has proven to be one of both challenges and opportunities for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. As the year comes to a close, it’s time to take a look back at the stories and trends that mattered most.

Most people with developmental disabilities do not have paid, integrated employment, but many parents are working to change that by starting their own businesses. Why? So their loved ones can experience the fulfillment of a job where they can contribute.

Dreams belong to everyone, including people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. But sometimes individuals with I/DD can use a little help in imagining the possibilities and making those dreams come true.

Everyone can use a good friend. That’s what the Best Buddies program is all about.

Everyone can be a self-advocate, but for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, becoming a self-advocate is even more important.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was a game changer for people with disabilities. On July 26 we celebrate the 31st Anniversary of the ADA being signed into law.
