“Ability at Work” is the theme for Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month 2014. Leeda Northeast, Trips Ahoy Foundation, and other related organizations celebrate Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month in March and invite you to consider the true meaning of this year’s theme, “Ability at Work!”
Statewide, and across the nation, organizations devoted to serving individuals with developmental disabilities are planning special events in March to raise public awareness of the many abilities people have, regardless of disability. “Ability at Work” encourages people to understand that when people with disabilities are welcomed into local neighborhoods, workplaces, houses of worship, and schools, everyone wins. This is a time when our organization focuses on encouraging the public to better understand the individuals we serve.
During Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, we encourage people to learn more about the people in this community who have developmental disabilities and to recognize that all of us have talents and abilities that we can offer to make this a better place to live.
Leeda Northeast and Trips Ahoy Foundation will kick off its recognition of March as DD Awareness Month with a Chili Cook-Off. The Chili Cook-Off will be March 15, 2014 at It’s All Fine, 3581 Youngstown Rd., Warren, OH.
Explore the opportunities of employing individuals with disabilities while supporting the Trips Ahoy Foundation.
Trips Ahoy is a 501(c)3 non-profit foundation working towards enriching the lives of those with disabilities.
Get acquainted with someone who has a developmental disability during March, Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month. You’ll learn that everyone has something to offer, and that when we are all together, our communities are stronger, we accomplish more, and everyone wins!
