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 

As we mark Disability Pride Month, it's crucial to reflect on the significance of this celebration and its impact on fostering a more inclusive society. Disability Pride Month is not just a time for recognition but also an opportunity to amplify the voices of individuals with disabilities, celebrate their achievements, and advocate for their rights. This involves pushing for inclusive policies, ensuring accessibility in all areas of life, and promoting a culture of respect and dignity for all. #DisabilityPride#InclusionMatters #Accessibility #DisabilityAdvocacy #EquityForAll#InclusiveWorkpla #DisabilityRights#DiversityAndInclusion #InclusiveEducation#DisabilityAwareness#BreakingBarriers#DisabilityInclusion #Empowerment#RepresentationMatters #AdvocateForChange

National Disability Independence Day occurs every year on July 26, commemorating the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which protects people with disabilities from discrimination of all kinds. In the disability community, able-bodied people are referred to as “temporarily able-bodied” as a reminder that a disability can occur to anyone and anytime– especially later on in life. GLP Attorneys is proud to support clients with disabilities and advocate for their rights. On National Disability Independence Day, we encourage you to learn more about ADA and how you can break stigmas and barriers within your community.

Did you know that July is Disability Pride Month? Disability Pride Month started in 1990, soon after the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law on July 26, 1990. This month is dedicated to honoring the journeys, achievements, and challenges faced by individuals with disabilities, whether those disabilities are visible or not. My Employment Options, as advocates of diversity and inclusion, remains dedicated to assisting job seekers with disabilities in securing meaningful employment, not just in July but throughout the year. #DisabilityPrideMonth #DisabilityPride #InclusionMatters #ADA #DisabilityAwareness #DisabilityInclusion #RepresentationMatters

It is really rare to see a piece like this. This segment from CBS is an in-depth look at one of the struggles at the very heart of the disability rights movement: the fight - and the right - to live outside the walls of an institution. Specifically, it focuses on what's happening right in our own backyards: Illinois houses more people with disabilities in state-run institutions, and spends more running them, than all but four other states. In tandem with compelling stories of people with disabilities actually impacted by the lack of federally-mandated services and supports, the data is clear. "We need more choices. It is a civil rights issue." https://lnkd.in/edX6xeu9

✨ "I have autism, what's your disability" - Cameron, 321 Barista ✨ Happy Disability Pride Month! 🤩 I feel very lucky to interact with people with all types of disabilities every day, and I am better off because of it. One time I was working with one of our baristas named Cameron. If you've ever visited 321 Coffee when Cameron is working, you know you're in for a treat. She greets everyone with a smile and a rapid-fire series of questions like, “What’s your favorite boy band?”, "Who's your cartoon crush?" and “What did you name your car?”. It's AWESOME. One day, Cameron said to a customer, “I have autism, what's your disability?” I saw the customer tense up, and I was ready to step in. I saw the customer exhale and say, "You know, I'm not very good at math". Cameron, with her ever-present enthusiasm, quickly said "Well I'm great at math! If you were born in 1970, you just turned 54!" and the conversation continued. Cameron taught me so much in that moment. She showed me the value of vulnerability and the importance of genuinely connecting with others beyond the surface level. This is just one of the many examples of how you can learn so much from surrounding yourself with people who are different from you. At 321 Coffee, we celebrate people for who they are because there is so much value in diversity. When you put people from different backgrounds together, it challenges the way you think, highlights your blindspots, and offers fresh perspectives. This is what gives us the power to grow and the ability to innovate! This month is all about celebrating the experiences, achievements, and challenges of the disability community. Something that 321 absolutely loves to do (regardless of what month it is!) 🎉 So cheers to being different! #DisabilityPrideMonth #WorkplaceInclusion #Awareness #321Coffee

Despite the introduction of the 2022 federal Disability Inclusion Action Plan, parents of children with disabilities in Canada still face significant gaps in legal protections and job support. Kamila Kolpashnikova and Mattea Kott argue that current policies fall short and that Ottawa must take further action to ensure these families receive the support they deserve.
