Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month is a time to recognize Florida’s public policy improvements, the accomplishments of community organizations, state agencies and most importantly, the achievements of thousands of individuals with developmental disabilities who contribute daily to communities across the state of Florida. In Governor DeSantis’ 2019-2020 A Bold Vision for a Brighter Future budget, he recommended continuing investments to help more Floridians with disabilities receive services and assistance.
