Newsletter #005 – Reflecting on the world right now…
Throughout March, we’ve been shocked to see the situation in Ukraine escalating, and our heart goes out to all those affected. We’ve put together information on how the conflict is impacting individuals with disabilities. 🇺🇦
Of course, March has also been IDD awareness month. We want to continue raising awareness beyond March, and invite you to continue with us!
