Disability Pride Month is celebrated each year in July. Disability Pride initially started as a day of celebration in 1990—the year that the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law. The first official celebration of Disability Pride Month was July 2015, also the 25th anniversary of the ADA. Since then, cities across the country have celebrated disability pride month with parades and other festivities.
