Did you know that July is Disability Pride Month? Learn more about this important observance... Why is it celebrated in July? This month commemorates the passing of the landmark Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in July 1990, which prohibits discrimination based on disability and requires reasonable accommodations to people with disabilities in public and private settings. Why the flag? In order of appearance from top to bottom: 🟢 Green is for sensory disabilities 🔵Blue represents emotional and psychiatric disabilities ⚪White stands for non-visible and undiagnosed disabilities 🟡Gold is for neurodiversity 🔴Red represents physical disabilities. ⚫Charcoal black is to mourn disabled people who’ve died due to ableism, violence, negligence, suicide, rebellion, illness and eugenics. During July we have an opportunity to celebrate those in our lives who are impacted by seen and unseen disabilities. Let's challenge ourselves to be kind and to think about the role we can each play in making clinical research more accessible to ALL patients. #parexelwithheart #patientinclusion #disabilityawareness
