On February 26, 1987, President Ronald Reagan proclaimed March the month of “National Developmental Disability Awareness.” In his proclamation, Reagan recognized the partnerships created with public and private organizations that provide those with developmental disabilities the tools to lead productive and independent lives.

Here at Amistad, we pride ourselves in our mission “to advocate, connect and deliver social services to communities, ensuring a dignified and meaningful life for all.”
