Fulton County proclaims March 2026 Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month
Summary
Commissioners approved a proclamation recognizing March 2026 as Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, praising inclusion and noting participation from local service providers and residents.
Fulton County commissioners on Feb. 24 approved a proclamation designating March 2026 as Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month.
Commissioner Hervey P. Hann moved to approve the proclamation, which the board adopted 'All in favor.' The document commends the community for fostering inclusion and states, in part, 'March 2026 as Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month' and acknowledges that 'Fulton County becomes a better place when people with and without disabilities come together to form strong, diverse communities.'
Representatives from local service providers and advocacy groups attended the signing, including staff from Occupational Services Inc., CRI, Full Circle Residence, Lupey Behavioral Services, Fulton County Human Services, and The Arc of Franklin/Fulton Counties, along with consumers and family members. A group photograph was taken with county commissioners.
The proclamation is commemorative and does not create new program authority or budgetary commitments; it signals county recognition of ongoing services and local advocacy efforts.
