July brings the celebration of Disability Pride Month to recognize the passing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) on July 26, 1990. The ADA is a federal law prohibiting discrimination against a person with disability in order to provide equal opportunity.
A person with a disability can include having physical or mental, temporary or permanent, and visible or invisible impairments. Whether you are an ally or within the community, it's important to recognize our differences and be open to learning from each other.
