🎉 Today marks the 35th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This landmark civil rights law champions accessibility, inclusion, and dignity. At TruCare Provider Services, we celebrate National Disability Independence Day by honoring the progress made and recommitting to a future where independence isn't a privilege, but a right.

The ADA changed lives by opening doors, breaking down barriers, and amplifying voices. But its legacy is more than laws: it’s lived experiences, everyday advocacy, and communities that refuse to be left behind.

💙 Whether it’s through assistive technology, inclusive spaces, or empowering partnerships, TruCare continues to support individuals with disabilities in living fully, independently, and boldly.

Let’s continue to build a world where everyone has the tools, and the respect, to thrive.
