Subject: Developmental

Disabilities Awareness Day

Good morning.

On behalf of the Florida

Developmental Disabilities Council (FDDC), I

am pleased to announce that Thursday,

April 7, 2005, has been designated as Developmental

Disabilities Awareness Day at the Florida Capitol in Tallahassee.

The theme for this year is Inclusion - in the

classroom, in the workplace and in the community.

Various exhibitors, whose booths will be located on

the second floor rotunda of the Capitol, will help educate visitors about the

challenges and opportunities before the disability community and also discuss

and highlight services available to individuals with disabilities in Florida.

As in past years, Developmental

Disabilities Awareness Day is an appropriate time to recognize Florida's

public policy accomplishments concerning the needs of individuals with

developmental disabilities, as well as to identify the improvements that are

needed to ensure that appropriate services are made available and accessible to

all of our state's residents with developmental disabilities.

A press conference will be held in conjunction with

the event and everyone is cordially invited to attend and participate in this

very special day.

If you have any questions about Developmental

Disabilities Awareness Day, download the flyer (and feel free to send it to

anyone interested in participating) or contact Margaret Determann or Amelia Valencic toll-free at .
