Shining Stars
Throughout the year a Shining Star is chosen by the Developmental Disability Advocates team. We look at all the amazing things our consumers have accomplished and choose one to highlight. Once chosen, they are spotlighted on our website, their article is displayed at both of our offices, and the consumer receives a framed picture of the article to display. It is a great way for our consumers to get a chance to talk about themselves and the things they like to do.
