Mental Retardation and
Developmental Disabilities Awareness
Media Kit 

The goal is to increase the public's
awareness and understanding of people who have
mental retardation and other developmental disabilities
so that these citizens will have increased access in
our communities to employment, education, housing
and social opportunities.

This year the theme  is Success! When doors open ─ we succeed.
 I may have a developmental disability but I can vote,  
I can volunteer, I can be a neighbor, I can work, and I can be a friend. Click on catalog to see the many items we have developed with the this year's logo to enhance your outreach activities - such as posters, coffee mugs, pens, t-shirts, tote bags, curriculum guides, and more! We also have billboards developed utilizing two of our poster images. This high-resolution art is available free of charge on a CD.

MR/DD Month in March offers an opportunity for taking a crucial step toward improving the quality of life for people with developmental disabilities, but awareness activities should run year round. It is, after all, often attitudinal barriers that affect everyday life for these individuals. In addressing those barriers, fears and negative attitudes can be replaced with awareness and understanding.

Although, the materials were developed with MR/DD Month in mind, it is easy to adapt them for year-round use.
