Comal County proclaims March 2026 Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month
Summary
The commissioners read and approved a proclamation recognizing March 2026 as Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month and invited local disability-service organizations forward for remarks and a photo.
The Comal County Commissioners Court unanimously approved a proclamation recognizing March 2026 as Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month in the county.
The proclamation cited national statistics and the Americans with Disabilities Act; after the court approved the document, the chair invited local service providers forward for a photo. Bill Berry, who identified himself as working for the Rockhouse Foundation, thanked the court and described programs that help people with developmental disabilities participate in community life: "Our United Way Foundation here in town, has just been awesome to us," Berry said, and he encouraged volunteers and community participation.
Berry told the court about local activities that support independence and social engagement, including arts, music and regular community dances that draw large attendance. The proclamation and the presenters emphasized a combination of local nonprofit support and ongoing needs for services and inclusion.
