July is Disability Pride Month, a time to recognize and celebrate the fact that disability is a natural part of human diversity, and something people living with disabilities can take pride in. This Disability Pride Month we’re thrilled to amplify the voices of people with disabilities and introduce you to Derek Point, who boldly challenges stereotypes by showing people the incredible work and craftsmanship he is capable of. Let’s take this opportunity to celebrate individuals like Derek and honor the uniqueness of our community. #DisabilityPrideMonth

Did you know? July is Disability Pride Month. While this is not recognized as a national holiday, July marks the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) legislation that opened the door to a more inclusive society. For some, Disability Pride Month is recognizing your disability and loving who you are for it; others celebrate the wins in learning to navigate their disability; or some show their support by just listening and elevating disabled voices. Take time this month to reflect, celebrate, and continue to uplift and include those with disabilities at work and in your community. #ADA #DisabilityPrideMonth #HRConsulting #DiversityAndInclusion
