Today is the 35th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Before the ADA, it was legal for:
• Employers to refuse to hire someone simply because of a disability.
• Businesses to deny service to wheelchair users.
• Public transit to be completely inaccessible.

We celebrate the ADA not because it’s perfect—but because it marked a beginning, not an end.

Disability Pride Month is a time to celebrate the diverse experiences within the disability community. Let's remember that disability intersects with other identities, and we must fight for justice and equality for all.

Very exciting news from our community partners at the Arc of the Pikes Peak Region!🎉🎉🎉

🎉 BIG NEWS from The Arc Pikes Peak Region! 🎉

We are thrilled to announce that we’ve officially acquired over 10 acres of land in Colorado Springs to build an inclusive community destination — a place where people of ALL abilities can gather, play, and thrive. 🌟

This future-forward complex has been a dream in the making — one rooted in equity, connection, and joy for every family we serve. It will be a vibrant, accessible space for recreation, inclusion, and lifelong memories.

💙 A heartfelt thank you to our President of the Board and our dedicated Board of Directors — past and present — for leading the way, and to our CEO, Wilfred Romero, for his vision and commitment.

This is more than a project — it’s a promise to our community. And we’ll need YOUR help to bring it to life.

✨ Stay tuned — we’re just getting started!
