PORT ANGELES — The Clallam County commissioners proclaimed March as Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month at a March 3 meeting in Port Angeles.
The commissioners hope to raise awareness and foster inclusion of people with developmental disabilities in all areas of the community and to improve awareness that people with developmental disabilities continue to face barriers connecting with the community.
Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month highlights three areas of daily life: education, employment and community living.
