Individuals with developmental disabilities, advocates, and state officials gathered at the Capitol on March 4 as Gov. Asa Hutchinson proclaimed March 2019 as Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month. Individuals with developmental disabilities who have been participating in the supported employment program with the Department of Human Services (DHS) were honored for their involvement the past year.
The DHS Division of Developmental Disabilities Services (DDS) along with the Governor’s Council on Developmental Disabilities and other state advocates will host opportunities throughout the month of March to celebrate and encourage Arkansans with developmental disabilities.
