International Day of Persons with Disabilities is about fostering disability-inclusive societies, advancing social progress, and protecting the equal rights of over one billion people worldwide through advocacy, accessibility, education, healthcare, employment, and global policy.

This week is about learning disability awareness and appreciation. Show some understanding and kindness, and please treat people with learning disabilities with respect and care.

BIPOC-positive media representation can also create environments of solidarity where ideas are diverse, perspectives are varied, and everyone feels valued and recognized.
