At Easterseals Midwest, we are thrilled to celebrate Disability Pride Month, a time to honor the strength, resilience, and achievements of individuals with disabilities. This month is especially significant as it marks the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), a groundbreaking piece of legislation passed 34 years ago. The ADA has been instrumental in promoting inclusion, accessibility, and equal opportunities, transforming countless lives.
We believe that everyone deserves to be recognized for their unique abilities. This month, let us take pride in supporting those with disabilities, uplifting our community as a whole, and ensuring that everyone has the opportunities and recognition they deserve. You can impact this vision by donating using the button below. Together, we can lead the way to 100% equity, inclusion, and access for all!
As we celebrate Disability Pride Month, we reflect on the progress made since the ADA's enactment and recognize the ongoing efforts needed to achieve full equality. Check out the timeline below to see how far we've come, and use this month to reflect on how far we still have to go.
