Last evening, OPWDD shared the news of their new anti-stigma campaign: “Look Beyond My Disability”.
As per OPWDD’s announcement:
This campaign is the culmination of months of collaboration and input from a diverse group of stakeholders who came together with one charmed purposeL to develop a campaign to fight unfair stereotyping and discrimination that people with developmental disabilities still face daily. The campaign message confirms what she be obvious – that people with developmental disabilities are more than their disabilities. Like all of us, they are many things – friends, neighbors, family members, students, and customers.
You can see the campaign and learn more about how you can participate and help amplify its important message by sharing the “Look Beyond” resources on the OPWDD website: opwdd.ny.gov/LookBeyond…
