Every month of the year has awareness events designed to bring attention to diseases and disabilities. Some you may hear about on social media or the blogs you read regularly. Others are less publicized but may be of most interest to you and your family.
We’ve gathered a list of special needs awareness months, weeks, and days into an infographic to keep you informed all year through. Download, print, and stick it up near your family calendar, and share this post with others to help raise awareness for all these worthy causes.
