Each March, the National Association of Councils on Developmental Disabilities (NACDD), partners with Association of University Centers on Disabilities (AUCD) and National Disabilities Rights Network (NDRN) to create a social media campaign that highlights the many ways in which people with and without disabilities come together to form strong, diverse communities.
The campaign seeks to raise awareness about the inclusion of people with developmental disabilities in every aspect of life, as well as awareness of the barriers that people with disabilities still face. DD Awareness Month covers three main areas: education, employment and community living.
Similar to last year, selected artwork featured at local DC studio Art Enables serves as logo imagery for DD Awareness Month. This year offers two options for you to use from artists Eileen Schofield and Jamila Rahini. Feel free to use whichever you prefer in your own branding–or both!
