Celebrating Disability Pride Month 

July is Disability Pride Month, a time to celebrate the experiences, contributions, and strengths of people with disabilities. It is also an opportunity to learn about disability history and recognize the importance of creating communities where everyone feels respected, included, and valued. 
 
Disability Pride Month began as a way to honor the disability rights movement and the progress made toward greater accessibility, inclusion, and equal opportunity. It reminds us that disability is a natural part of human diversity, and that every person brings unique strengths, talents, and perspectives to their community.
