Happy National Disability Independence Day!

On National Disability Independence Day, we celebrate the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act and continue to advocate for a world where everyone has the freedom to thrive.💙

What is ADA?
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), passed in 1990, prohibits discrimination and guarantees equal opportunity for people with disabilities in:
• Employment
• Public services
• Transportation
• Public accommodations

It also requires reasonable accommodations to support individuals with disabilities in the workplace. Examples include:
• Screen reader–compatible tools
• Flexible schedules or remote options
• Ergonomic equipment
• ASL interpreters or captioning

Thank you, Governor Mike Kehoe for signing the budget and funding services for Missourians with IDD for another year!

Thank you to all of our state legislators that voiced support for these services. Preserving funding for Self-Directed Services and Day Services means Missourians with disabilities can keep building skills, staying connected, and spending their days with purpose.

This decision matters for individuals, families, providers, and the Direct Support Professionals who make this work possible every day.

We are grateful you listened to families, self-advocates, providers, and advocates across Missouri. This decision matters, and we hope it reflects continued support for people with disabilities as budget conversations begin again next session.
