On the organizational website, www.cec.sped.org, there was a blog that discussed International Day of Persons with Disabilities. December 3 is the annual observance of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities that was established by the International Year for Disabled Persons 1981. In recognition of this important day, President Obama issued a proclamation that officially makes December 3 as the International Day of Persons with Disabilities in the United States. The goal and purpose for this day is to promote a better understanding of disability issues, the rights of persons with disabilities, and the advantages of incorporating people with disabilities into the political, economic, social, and cultural life of their community. International Day of Persons with Disabilities also recognized the millions of individuals who work daily with children and youth with disabilities. I am going to continue to visit this website regularly to keep up with the policies that effect children with disabilities.
