More than 100,000 people in Missouri have developmental disabilities. During March, we celebrate the many achievements and contributions of individuals with developmental disabilities throughout our nation and our community. We promote a society of inclusion and acceptance, where persons with developmental disabilities enjoy life in their community, where they reside and work.
