Join the SSD in exploring 5 things we would like you to know on International Day of Persons with a disability!

What is the International Day of Persons with a Disability? The United Nations first observed International Day of Persons with a Disability (IDPD) 33 years ago in 1992. IDPD aims to increase public awareness, understanding and acceptance of disabled people while celebrating our achievements and contributions to our communities and the world. According to the United Nations, IDPD promotes an understanding of disability issues, integration of disabled people into every aspect of political, social, economic and cultural life, and equitable support for the dignity and wellbeing of disabled people.

Here are 5 things to know on IDPD:

1. Accommodations are not a privilege

2. Disability is not a bad word

3. Inclusion benefits everyone

4. Not all disabilities are visible

5. Disabilities can be dynamic
