Back-to-school season is right around the corner! 🎒📚

Now’s the time to make sure your child is set up for success — if they need additional support, exploring an Individualized Education Program (IEP) can make all the difference.

Let’s work together to ensure every student gets the tools they need to thrive this school year. 💛

📅 On this day in history: The Social Security Act was signed into law in 1935.
This landmark legislation laid the foundation for economic security for millions—including people with disabilities, older adults, and marginalized communities.

At WILC, we honor the impact of this act and continue to advocate for equity, access, and inclusion for all. 💙

On August 12, 1968, the Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) was signed into law—the first federal legislation to require accessibility in buildings funded by the government.

This groundbreaking law helped pave the way for a more inclusive, accessible future for people with disabilities. ♿

On July 26, 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law—a groundbreaking civil rights victory that prohibits discrimination and ensures equal access for people with disabilities across the U.S.

From transportation and employment to education and public spaces, the ADA opened doors—literally and figuratively—and continues to be a foundation for disability rights and independent living.

At WILC, we’re proud to honor this milestone and the advocates who made it possible. Here’s to progress, equity, and true inclusion. 🛠️🗽
