We know that oftentimes those diagnosed with a developmental disability are not treated equally and face many additional barriers. We must understand their abilities and differences while ensuring they are included in all aspects of their care. We need to be aware of the various resources available. We must be able to advocate, connect, educate, create opportunities and impact change for this particular population.
