Governor McDonnell Proclaims March Developmental Disabilities Awareness
Month (clickable)
Governor McDonnell today proclaimed March Developmental Disabilities Awareness
Month in Virginia In his proclamation the governor recognized the value and potential of
the nearly 145000 adults and children across the Commonwealth who are estimated to
have a developmental disability
ldquoIndividuals with developmental disabilities do not want to be defined by their
disability they want to be known for their abilitiesrdquo said Governor McDonnell ldquoThere is
much we can do to encourage their independence and allow them the choices anyone
else would want ndash such as having a home being near family having employment
opportunities and being accepted in their own communities I have long believed in
reducing our dependence on large state-run institutions for people with intellectual
disabilities and moving to a community-based system of care that ensures the highest
quality of life closer to their own families I also believe there is value and benefit to public
and private employers who hire people with disabilities As people with developmental
disabilities successfully engage in these aspects of society and live more productive
fuller lives in their own communities we begin to see what they are capable of instead of
taking a limited view of what they cannot dordquo

Governor McDonnell Proclaims March Developmental Disabilities Awareness
Month (clickable)
Governor McDonnell today proclaimed March Developmental Disabilities Awareness
Month in Virginia In his proclamation the governor recognized the value and potential of
the nearly 145000 adults and children across the Commonwealth who are estimated to
have a developmental disability
ldquoIndividuals with developmental disabilities do not want to be defined by their
disability they want to be known for their abilitiesrdquo said Governor McDonnell ldquoThere is
much we can do to encourage their independence and allow them the choices anyone
else would want ndash such as having a home being near family having employment
opportunities and being accepted in their own communities I have long believed in
reducing our dependence on large state-run institutions for people with intellectual
disabilities and moving to a community-based system of care that ensures the highest
quality of life closer to their own families I also believe there is value and benefit to public
and private employers who hire people with disabilities As people with developmental
disabilities successfully engage in these aspects of society and live more productive
fuller lives in their own communities we begin to see what they are capable of instead of
taking a limited view of what they cannot dordquo
