ACDD launches new “See Me” campaign for Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month
MONTGOMERY, Ala.—The Alabama Council on Developmental Disabilities (ACDD) has launched a new
campaign to coincide with Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month in March. Each message
features a different person with disabilities inviting the viewer to “See me as”: an “equal”, “employee”,
“graduate”, “neighbor”, “achiever” and more.
The ACDD’s messaging will be featured on social media, digital ads online and
outdoor billboards throughout the state.
“Our survey results showed that there were several concerns among those with developmental
disabilities and their families,” said Executive Director of the ACDD Darryle Powell. “Many times, the
general population is unaware of the strides the disabled have made in terms of employment,
educational opportunities, and housing.”
Powell continued: “This campaign brings attention to their many achievements in these areas, as well as
how they simply want to be seen and accepted by their fellow Alabamians. They want the same things
as anyone else, to be active participants in their communities. Through this campaign, we hope to increase
understanding, and for people to get to know and appreciate those with developmental disabilities.”
For more information, contact the Alabama Council on Developmental Disabilities at 334-242-3973 or
visit https://www.acdd.org/.
