The Children's Theatre of Cincinnati presents special performances of The Cat in the Hat intended for individuals with developmental disabilities, including those on the autism spectrum who may benefit, and their classmates and families, not for the general public. Only a limited number of tickets will be sold. This season they will present one performance during the weekday for school groups and families.

On Thursday, the Hamilton County Board of Commissioners recognized Disability Pride Month with a proclamation at their regular meeting. We were happy to participate with our partners at Hamilton County DDS, the Cincinnati & Hamilton County Public Library, Goodwill and Independence Alliance.

“Disability Pride Month offers an opportunity for the community to learn about the history of disability rights, celebrate the progress made, and reaffirm the principle that disability is a part of human diversity that enriches our community."

July is Disability Pride Month, which celebrates inclusion and the experiences of all disabled people. The disability pride flag was created by Ann Magill, who has cerebral palsy, in 2019. The flag was created after Magill attended an event for the 20th anniversary of the ADA and was disappointed that it was confined to the basement and grounds of an independent living center — instead of out in public.

The flag features five stripes, each with a different meaning. Red is for physical disabilities; Gold for neurodiversity; White for invisible disabilities and disabilities that haven't yet been diagnosed; Blue for emotional and psychiatric disabilities, including mental illness, anxiety, and depression; and Green for sensory disabilities, including deafness, blindness, lack of smell, lack of taste, audio processing disorder, and all other sensory disabilities.

Throughout the month, we'll be sharing pieces of disability history and what disability pride means to our community and some of us here at CPARF.

Thanks to our friends at Weinberg Family Cerebral Palsy Center for the history of the flag.
