🎉 Celebrating Disability Independence Day 🎉
35 years ago today...the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) became law—forever changing the landscape of access, equity, and inclusion across the United States. 🇺🇸

For occupational therapy practitioners, the ADA isn’t just a law—it’s the backbone of our work. Whether you're modifying environments, advocating for inclusive policies, or supporting clients in returning to the roles that matter most, you bring the ADA to life every day.

As we honor this anniversary, let’s recommit to the work ahead:
✅ Advocate for access in your workplace and community
✅ Educate others on the importance of inclusive design and policy
✅ Share how OT supports disability rights

Tag us and use and to show how you’re helping make Ohio more inclusive—one person, one system, one breakthrough at a time!
