APTA Pediatrics DEI Committee recognizes Disability Pride Month!
The APTA Pediatrics DEI Committee recognizes Disability Pride Month! On July 26, 1990, The Americans with Disabilities Act was signed. Disability Pride Month, celebrated every July, is a vital time to recognize and honor the diverse contributions and experiences of individuals with disabilities. This month serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of inclusion, accessibility, and equality in all aspects of society. It is an opportunity to challenge stereotypes, break down barriers, and advocate for the rights and dignity of people with disabilities. Please explore current resources like, "Promoting social-emotional development: An introduction for families and caregivers" which can be found under fact sheets through pediatricapta.org.
