Don't Forget - National DDP Day is on July 15^th!

Developmental Disability Professionals go by many names – QIDPs, Case Managers, and Service Coordinators to name just a few. Regardless of formal title, their purpose is to assist people with developmental disabilities to live full, meaningful, and productive lives.  DDPs provide services to some of the most vulnerable people in our country. They do so because they recognize that all people are an inherently valuable and important part of the fabric of our communities.  Developmental Disability Professionals are resilient in times of challenge, uncompromising in the provision of outstanding supports and tenacious advocates for positive change. They have played a critical role in advancing the rights of people with developmental disabilities and deserve recognition for their tireless efforts to this end. 

As the leading national association representing such professionals, NAQ encourages provider organizations, parents, and people with disabilities to formally recognize their DDPs.  Now, more than ever, we need to thank Development Disability Professionals for their dedication and commitment.  How you choose to recognize your favorite DDP is entirely up to you.  Maybe you’d like to send a heartfelt thank-you card.  Perhaps they would appreciate a gift card to their favorite coffee shop or a candy bouquet delivered to their office.  Maybe they’d like to attend an event or training opportunity.  

Now, get out there and celebrate!
