Celebrating Disability Pride Month
07.06.26
Making History
July 26th will mark 36 years since the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law which protected people with disabilities from discrimination in many areas of public life. This includes areas such as jobs, schools, transportation, and many public and private places that are open to the general public (ADA National Network).
Signed in 1990, and then amended in 2009 with the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act (ADAAA) on January 1, 2009 (which made significant changes to the definition of ‘disability’), this Act has been vital for changing the landscape for those with disabilities and made it so that disability rights were civil rights.
