Day at the Florida Capitol, in Tallahassee. This year's event is co-sponsored by the Florida Alliance for Assistive Services and Technology (FAAST) and the Agency for Persons with Disabilities (APD). The theme for this

year is Learning Together, Growing Together, Living Together. 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 showcase 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 you are 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 Hooper Determann or Shanette s toll-free at , or also toll-free TDD .
