Meijer’s Post

Great work, Meijer! Also a good reminder that July is Disability Pride Month, which commemorates the July 1990 passage of the ADA and recognizes the achievements of the disability community, as well as their history, lived experiences, and struggles. 1 in 4 Americans live with some kind of disability. As a mom I am striving to raise a child that will embrace and not fear differences he encounters in others - including peers with disabilities. Here's a good article with age-appropriate tips for talking to young children about disabilities (including why it's appropriate to use the term disabled). https://lnkd.in/e-MW435E

July is Disability Pride Month!   Having a disability, whether visible or not, does not mean you have less to offer.   For many disabled people, however, it does mean having to fight harder for the same opportunities as your non-disabled friends or colleagues.   This is a month to celebrate disabilities in all their colours to encourage positive change and conversation all year round.   Check out the below article from AccessAble for 6 ways in which you can make a difference: https://lnkd.in/eaWrGVwX   'There's no doubt that 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐝 to implement further equality legislation, tackle discrimination, narrow the employment gap and improve accessibility on a global scale. Everyone should have the right to earn, learn, be cared for and feel included and represented.'   #DisabilityPrideMonth #DEI #DisabilityAwareness #DiversityAndInclusion

Bank of America earned a perfect 100/100 score on this year’s Disability Equality Index – for the 8th year in a row! The Index is a joint initiative from Disability:IN and American Association of People with Disabilities that measures adherence to leading disability inclusion practices.   It's an important reminder that it takes action to achieve more inclusive workplaces and communities. As we wrap up #DisabilityPrideMonth, I encourage everyone to consider ways they can continue to eliminate barriers, prioritize accessibility, and #ChooseToInclude.   #ADA34 https://lnkd.in/e8kViZFf

It's July 1st, which means we are kicking off Disability Pride Month! Honoring the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (commonly referred to as the ADA), an instrumental piece of legislation that has made our country more inclusive and accessible, Disability Pride Month allow us to acknowledge the history, achievements, experiences, and struggles of the disability community. This year's theme is “We Want a Life Like Yours” to remind everyone that so many still face barriers and discrimination. Disability Pride differs from simple awareness because people with disabilities want to end the stigma and let everyone know that disability is a natural part of human diversity. Here at CHCI, we are taking time throughout the month to share ways in which your organization can provide reasonable accommodations to be more inclusive to those with disabilities. Follow along as we provide tips on accommodations that can significantly improve the workplace without breaking the bank, where neurodiversity fits into the conversation, and more. #DisabilityPride #DisablityPrideMonth #Ableism #Neurodiversity #Neurodiverse #Neurodivergent #ReasonableAccommodations #Accessibility #ADA #DEI #DEIB #Diversity #Equity #Inclusion #Belonging

Today marks the 34th Anniversary of the Americas with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). The ADA, signed into law on July 26, 1990, was a landmark piece of legislation that broke down barriers to inclusion, but people in the disability community still experience discrimination, social stigma, and marginalization. Lifeworks recognizes the important role the ADA continues to play in ensuring greater access and opportunities for people with disabilities – but we know there is still more work to be done. That is why Lifeworks is committed to partnering with people with disabilities so that we can continue to identify barriers, address challenges, and build inclusive communities and workplaces. #LifeworksMN #ADA34 #ADAAnniversary #DisabilityInclusion
