content: Pin-back buttons serve many purposes. They are efficient advertising vehicles, handy for fund-raising in support of a cause, concise statements of a person’s beliefs, a form of educational outreach, and convenient ice-breakers for conversation. NMAH has several hundred buttons related to disability, including this one. It was created by the President’s Committee on Mental Retardation in 1991 to mark its 25th anniversary. The Committee’s name was changed in 2003 to President’s Committee for People with Intellectual Disabilities.
