July is Disability Pride Month. On July 26th, we remember those who came before us and advocated for the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act on the 35th anniversary.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed July 26, 1990 by President George H.W. Bush. The signing ceremony took place on the White House South Lawn. Sitting to the President's left was disability rights activist Justin Dart Jr., condisered the "Father of the ADA." He dedicated his life to advocating for the rights of people with disabilities.
Happy 35th anniversary to the Americans with Disabilities Act!

"We had a wonderful experience during my child’s speech therapy assessment. Christina “Tina” Givner, M.S., CCC-SLP, was warm, professional, and incredibly thorough. Her approach made my child feel comfortable and engaged throughout the session. We truly appreciate her expertise and the care she provided!"
