Disability Pride Month is a time to celebrate the strength, talents, and contributions of people with disabilities while promoting inclusion, accessibility, and equal opportunities for everyone.

This month also honors the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), signed into law on July 26, 1990. The ADA helps protect the rights of individuals with disabilities and promotes access to employment, education, transportation, public spaces, and community life.

🤝 Creating communities where everyone feels welcomed, respected, and included.
♿ Removing barriers so people of all abilities can participate fully.
🗣️ Listening to and learning from the experiences of people with disabilities.

🌟 Ways You Can Show Support:

✔️ Use respectful, person-centered or identity-first language based on individual preference.
✔️ Make events and activities welcoming and accessible for everyone.
✔️ Teach children about kindness, empathy, and inclusion.
✔️ Challenge stereotypes and misconceptions when you encounter them.
✔️ Celebrate abilities while recognizing and respecting individual needs.

💡 Did You Know?
An inclusive community benefits everyone. When spaces, programs, and activities are designed to be accessible, more people can participate, connect, and thrive.

At the Family Resource Network, we believe every child, adult, and family deserves to feel valued, supported, and included. Together, we can build a stronger community where everyone belongs.

💙 Inclusion begins with understanding. Acceptance grows through kindness. Pride grows through belonging.
