Disability Pride Month is a time to recognize and honor the achievements, contributions, and inherent value of individuals with disabilities, while advocating for inclusivity and accessibility in our society. 2023 marks the disability rights movement’s 33rd anniversary celebration, which began when the American Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law in 1990.
