Honoring Disability Pride Month: Local Advocates Share Personal Stories, Push for Awareness and Inclusion


Listen Later

July marks Disability Pride Month, a time to celebrate the passing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in 1990 and reflect on the ongoing journey toward accessibility, dignity, and equity for people with disabilities.

In recognition of the month, The Spark spoke with two Pennsylvania advocates whose personal stories highlight both the challenges and triumphs within the disability community — and who remind us why awareness and advocacy still matter every day.
