Developmental Disability Professionals Day – July 15, 2023

Developmental Disability Professionals Day is observed on July 15 every year. This day is all about recognizing the work done by developmental disability professionals, who often go unnoticed despite providing services to some of the most vulnerable people in the country. The National Association for Qualified Intellectual Disabilities Specialists (N.A.Q.), the primary national organization recognizing developmental disability professionals, established the day in 2020.

These professionals include Qualified Intellectual Disabilities Professionals (Q.I.D.Ps), case managers, service coordinators, and other titles, depending on which state they work in. They assist people with developmental disabilities through facilitating the provision of residential services, creating employment opportunities, serving as behavior analysts, coordinating medical services, and more.
