It is a day to celebrate, recognize & bring awareness to the continuous work of the “ Support Workers” in the “ Developmental sector”
As the Director, & Founder of a special needs program for the last 10 years, I get to see firsthand, especially when our program was private, the lack of funding, support, appreciation, and recognition for what we do in our community.
On September 9, 2022 I started “Yellow Shirt Day” to gain, Recognition, Appreciation & Support for all workers in the “Developmental Sector “, for their continuous dedication, commitment, patience, endurance & empathy they have
for individuals with special needs.
Their willingness to provide vital daily structure & programming, with the implementation of Life & Social skills that
empower individuals with special needs, to learn, & develop skills
so they too, can enjoy the best “Quality of Life “.
Show your support and put on your “ Yellow Shirt” ANNUALLY on September 9.
