Please read so important now

A Historic Disability Anniversary — and Why It Matters: When the key Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) civil rights law took effect in July 1990, some credited activism like that seen at the headlining “Capitol Crawl.” As a result of activists’ decades-long push, employers, schools, and other public entities were now prohibited from discriminating based on disability. Under the ADA, people with disabilities — including communication disabilities — are entitled to full participation, equal opportunity, independent living, and economic self-sufficiency.

In addition to the ADA’s 35th anniversary, July marks another important milestone — the 60th anniversary of Medicaid. Medicaid is the largest source of health services funding for Americans who otherwise cannot access health care. Along with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Medicaid provides key funding for services to children with communication disabilities in America’s schools, and its funding is currently threatened by cuts.

Please read so very important

The R-word isn’t just outdated, it’s harmful.

Too many people with intellectual and developmental disabilities have grown up hearing it used as a punchline, insult, or a label to dismiss and dehumanize them.

In our newest blog, people share the real impact this word has had on their lives. Their stories are powerful, painful, and honest—and they show exactly why this word needs to go.

Read their words. Feel their lived experiences. And then make the choice to never use it again and to say something when others use it: https://bit.ly/46eCLLw
