March 2026
March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, which seeks to end stigma and celebrate the contributions of people with such disabilities, including Down Syndrome, Autism, and Cerebral Palsy. 1.5% of Canadians over the age of 14 live with some form of developmental disability. It is often observed by wearing orange each Wednesday of March. (Society of United Professionals)
