Disability Pride Awareness Month #DISABLEDANDPROUD

What is Disability PRIDE?
Disability Pride is the idea that people with disabilities should be proud of their disabled identity. People with disabilities are the largest and most diverse minority, representing all abilities, ages, races, ethnicities, languages, religions and socio-economic backgrounds. The world works better with us!!
