CELEBRATING THE ABILITIES
OF THOSE WITH DISABILITIES

Celebrate Differences is committed to creating a world where individuals with disabilities and their families feel a part of a larger, accepting community.

Parents are experiencing the feeling of being overwhelmed with emotions, worries and questions. We want families to know there is hope and resources available to help. 

Celebrate Differences is an all-inclusive disability organization, welcoming all children and their families regardless of age or disability.  We connect families through our outreach projects, our social activities and social networking.

Join Us for Developmental Disabilities Awareness Day in Tallahassee – March 11, 2025!

We have some exciting news for you! AFINS (Advocates for Individuals with Special Needs) and Celebrate Differences are partnering up to bring you an unforgettable experience at the Developmental Disabilities Awareness Day in Tallahassee on March 11, 2025.

This event is not just a day to gather—it’s an opportunity to stand together and make our voices heard. The Florida State House will host its annual Developmental Disabilities Awareness Day, providing a crucial platform for the disability community to raise awareness about the issues that impact our families and advocate for meaningful change.

Why is this Day Important?

Developmental Disabilities Awareness Day is a vital moment for the disability community to unite, share our stories, and stand strong in advocating for legislative changes that can improve the lives of individuals with developmental disabilities. It's more than a day on the calendar—it’s a call to action for everyone who cares about creating a more inclusive and supportive world.

But here’s where we need YOU.

The power of advocacy is in numbers. The more we show up, the louder our collective voice becomes. Legislators need to see the faces behind the statistics—the caregivers, families, and individuals whose lives are directly impacted. When we stand together, change is possible.

Thanks to Celebrate Differences, a Generous Opportunity Awaits

We’re thrilled to announce that Celebrate Differences, a nonprofit founded by Rebecca and Jeff Christiansen, has generously offered to fund a bus for individuals who wish to attend the event. This is an incredible opportunity to be part of the advocacy effort without worrying about transportation!
