We often fear what we don’t understand, and conversations around disability are avoided. The fear of not knowing what to say, how to act, or how to behave, divides us, not unites us.
We whisper it or avoid it altogether, as if disability is a dirty word.
Disability is not a dirty word. It’s a source of pride. It’s part of being human, and for more than 25% of all US people, it’s a part of who we are.
Learn why it’s important to
Say Disability with Pride.
