Independence Day 2025: Upholding Liberty and Equality for All
As we celebrate the Fourth of July, the Division of Developmental Disabilities is reflecting on what independence really means. For many, it's about freedom, choice, and the ability to live life on your own terms - and that's just as true for people with developmental disabilities.
This holiday reminds us of the values America was founded on- "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness," and the promise that "all are created equal." At DDD, we believe living up to those ideals means making sure people with developmental disabilities have the support they want and need to be fully included and empowered in every part of community life.
Everyone deserves the chance to make decisions about their lives, be part of their community, and have the support they need to reach their goals. We're proud to stand with individuals with developmental disabilities as they pursue their own paths with dignity, purpose, and pride.
