Today is National Disability Independence Day and commemorates the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) on 26 July 1990. If you are an employer or designer, consider how accessible your business is to people with disabilities. The ADA empowers people with disabilities to stand up for their rights, too. Give shout outs to accessible businesses and organizations. Take a look at your workspace. Are there narrow doors and small bathroom stalls that need to be redesigned so that they are accessible to wheelchairs? Do the elevators have braille? Does your municipality have braille signs and audible crosswalks for the vision impaired? Is your website ADA accessible? Are you moving and making plans to move in the direction of Disability Independence for those who work with and visit your organization? Remember, not all disabilities are visible. We can all improve our accessibility and inclusiveness for those with physical, emotional, mental, and social disability challenges. Let's make a point of focusing on how we can begin today. #DisabilityIndependenceDay

CIE celebrates Disability Pride Month!    #DisabilityPrideMonth is celebrated every July to honor the history, achievements, experiences and struggles of the disability community in recognition of the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), landmark legislation that broke down barriers to inclusion in society.   The Disability Pride Flag, initially designed in 2019 by Ann Magill, was created to encompass all disabilities. It was revised in 2021 with community input, and is now in the public domain.   The flag's five colors represent different types of disabilities. Red - physical disabilities Gold - neurodivergence White - invisible and undiagnosed disabilities Blue - psychiatric disabilities Green - sensory disabilities #inclusiveeconomy

Today, we celebrate the 34th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act and Disability Pride Month! Signed into law on July 26, 1990, the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities—both visible and non-visible—such as requiring employers to provide accommodations for individuals with disabilities and ensuring that buildings and public transportation are accessible. Our goal is to provide an inclusive and accessible space for our patients, visitors, and team members and advocate for equal opportunities for all. Join us as we celebrate and recognize achievements in this area while continuing to work toward bridging the gap in disability inclusion. #ADA #AmericansWithDisabilitiesAct #ADAanniversary #ADA34 #DisabilityPrideMonth #NationalDisabilityIndependenceDay #inclusivity #accessibility

Despite challenges, 19% of people with disabilities were employed in 2022, highlighting their resilience and efforts made to increase workforce representation.   Want to dive deeper into local data?
