Winter is finally over, and it’s time to get ready for spring. The signs are everywhere as the temperatures warm up, the trees bud, flowers sprout, and the birds start chirping. You might even see a cottontail or two hopping around. As spring begins many of us experience a change in our moods. We become rejuvenated, which generates a desire to go outside and witness the season’s beautiful gifts.

This month we celebrate not only the welcome arrival of spring, but also Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month (DDAM). This is a special time of year, as it gives us space to reflect on how far we’ve come.
