Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month #DDAM2026

In partnership with the National Association of Councils on Developmental Disabilities (NACDD) and councils nationwide, the California State Council on Developmental Disabilities is proud to celebrate Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month 2026.

This year’s theme, “We’re Here. Then, Now, Always,” reminds us that people with developmental disabilities have always been, and always will be, part of our communities.
