Disability Rights New Jersey’s Post

July 26 is recognized annually as National Disability Independence Day, commemorating the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) into law in 1990. While this was a big step in disability rights, disability inclusion has a long way to go in the office. #NationalDisabilityIndpendenceDay #Disability #DisabilityAwareness #ADA #Diversity #Inclusion #AccessibilityMatters #CoachDiversity

July is Disability Pride Month! ⁠ ⁠ In July 1990 the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed which prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities, since that year every July we celebrate Disability Pride Month! The month is a time to celebrate individuals with disabilities and increase your own and others awareness of how disabilities are perceived and help end stigmas individuals face. ⁠ ⁠ #DisabilityPrideMonth #DisabilityPride #July #Disabilities #Disabled #DevelopmentalDisabilities #IntellectualDisabilities #ADA #IDD #DisabilityAwareness

As we mark Disability Pride Month, it's crucial to reflect on the significance of this celebration and its impact on fostering a more inclusive society. Disability Pride Month is not just a time for recognition but also an opportunity to amplify the voices of individuals with disabilities, celebrate their achievements, and advocate for their rights. This involves pushing for inclusive policies, ensuring accessibility in all areas of life, and promoting a culture of respect and dignity for all. #DisabilityPride#InclusionMatters #Accessibility #DisabilityAdvocacy #EquityForAll#InclusiveWorkpla #DisabilityRights#DiversityAndInclusion #InclusiveEducation#DisabilityAwareness#BreakingBarriers#DisabilityInclusion #Empowerment#RepresentationMatters #AdvocateForChange
