​The Kitsap County Developmental Disabilities program provides a full array of services and supports that enhance the lives of children and adults with developmental disabilities in our community. We assist individuals who experience a developmental disability and their families to lead full, integrated active and productive lives in Kitsap County.

Kitsap County Developmental Disabilities partners with the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) and Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA) to administer a range of services by subcontracting with local agencies. You can learn more about the developmental disabilities program and services by attending a Developmental Disabilities Advisory Board (DAB) meeting.

2025 Events

Every March, the National Association of Councils on Developmental Disabilities (NACDD) and its partners collaborate to lead Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month (DDAM). The annual campaign highlights how people with and without disabilities come together to form strong communities.

NACDD's 2025 theme, We're Here All Year, emphasizing that community, accessibility, and opportunities for people with developmental disabilities should be recognized and championed every day—not just in March. This month reminds us that individuals with developmental disabilities are valuable members of our communities and deserve full participation in all aspects of life, including education, employment, recreation, and civic engagement. Visit the National Association of Councils on Developmental Disabilities to learn more or join us for an advisory board meeting to find out what we are doing locally.
