As we celebrate Asian Pacific Islander Awareness Month, the National Association of Councils on Developmental Disabilities (NACDD) commemorates the rich diversity and invaluable contributions of the Asian Pacific Islander (API) community.
This month serves as an opportunity to recognize and honor the unique cultural heritage, resilience, and achievements of individuals with disabilities within the API community. At NACDD, we understand that disability intersects with various aspects of identity, including ethnicity, culture, and language. Through our commitment to inclusivity and equity, we strive to amplify the voices of API individuals with disabilities, advocate for their rights, and promote access to culturally responsive support services and resources.
By embracing diversity and fostering cultural understanding, we advance towards a more inclusive society where every individual, regardless of background or ability, can thrive and contribute meaningfully.
