One community that is important to discuss is those that are living with a disability. March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month. This month focuses on shedding light on the difficulties people with developmental disabilities face. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the passage of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ada.gov\/ada_intro.htm#:~:text=The%20Americans%20with%20Disabilities%20Act,Bush.\">Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990<\/a>, the United States officially recognized the importance of ensuring people with different capabilities had access to equal education, health, employment, and other aspects related to one&#8217;s quality of life. However, funding is very important to ensure these communities gain access to the resources they need to succeed in their lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this reason, <a href=\"http:\/\/grantwatch.com\">GrantWatch<\/a> is sharing seven of the top disability grants available below in honor of Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Are Developmental Disabilities?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, there are five types of developmental disabilities. These include autism spectrum disorder (ASD), cerebral palsy (CP), intellectual disabilities, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and learning disabilities. According to recent data from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/ncbddd\/developmentaldisabilities\/about.html#:~:text=Recent%20estimates%20in%20the%20United,one%20or%20more%20developmental%20disabilities.&amp;text=Developmental%20disabilities%20are%20a%20group,%2C%20language%2C%20or%20behavior%20areas.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention<\/a>, about one in six children, ages 3-17 years, have a developmental disability. These disabilities start from a young age and affect a child&#8217;s development, but their impact lasts a lifetime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The organization <a href=\"https:\/\/disabilityjustice.org\/justice-denied\/disability-demographics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Disability Justice<\/a> notes that more than 6 million individuals in the nation have a developmental disability specifically, but there are more than 57 million people in the U.S. that have some kind of disability. This can include developmental disabilities, but it can also include other physical and mental disabilities such as blindness, hearing loss, speech issues, or other impairments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Seven Grants to Help People with Disabilities <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Firstly, there are grants of up to $20,000 to U.S. researchers to encourage diverse <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grant\/194496\/grants-to-usa-ihes-and-research-groups-to-encourage-diverse-participation-in-autism-research-studies.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">participation in autism research<\/a>.
