YAI Networks 31st Annual International Conference

Serving People with Disabilities and their Families for Over 50 Years

Spotlight

March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month!

If you or a friend, co-worker, loved one or client has a developmental disability, this month is for you! Here at the YAI Network, every month (every day!) is devoted to people with disabilities and their families, but in March, we all take extra steps to raise awareness about the needs and rights of the people we serve, as well as to celebrate their contributions to our communities and society as a whole! Learn more about the many ways that you can celebrate DD Awareness Month!
