Disability Pride Month is celebrated each year in July. Disability Pride initially started as a day of celebration in 1990—the year that the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law. That same year, Boston held the first Disability Pride Day. The first official celebration of Disability Pride Month occurred in July 2015, which also marked the 25th anniversary of the ADA. Since then, cities across the country have celebrated disability pride month with parades and other festivities. https://shorturl.at/FwwL4

The purpose of Disability Pride Month is to:

• Celebrate the achievements and contributions of people with disabilities
• Raise awareness about disability rights and issues
