Adrian has dyslexia & Autism. While he has advocates at home, multiple attempts to get support from his school went unanswered. Hear more about the experiences of black students with disabilities in this Intersection Collective discussion. hq.easterseals.com/3ieUufd

Racial inequities continue to exist, and people of color with disabilities are disproportionately affected. We cannot afford to treat Dr. King’s work as if it is only relevant to the past. Every one of us can live freely. Let’s realize that dream together. #MLKDay

After multiple attempts to get support from his school, a Black student with disabilities had to wait six months for acknowledgement from his school’s district. This occurs too often and we are working to ensure parents are better equipped: hq.easterseals.com/intersect

We are at a loss for words over the passing of Judy Heumann. To say her work has changed the lives of disabled people for the better is an understatement. We will continue seeing her influence in advocacy for generations to come. We'll miss you, Judy.

Its Autism Acceptance Month! Autism is a spectrum and understanding this spectrum is important to creating a more inclusive & accommodating world for autistic folks. When we say autism is a spectrum, we mean that Autism does not look the same in any two people! #AutismAcceptance

🎉It's #PrideMonth, & we're highlighting the diverse experiences of the disability & LGBTQ+ communities! Join us as we go #BeyondRepresentation. Throughout June, we'll be bringing you stories by disabled LGBTQ+ creatives. Get ready for pride, empowerment, & intersectionality. 🌈

Happy Disability Pride Month! A month dedicated to uplifting the genuine experiences and triumphs of disabled individuals. We know that disability representation is often dehumanizing or exploitative so #BecauseIAmDisabled is here to change that narrative. hq.easterseals.com/disabilityprid…

We’re redefining the narrative around disability. Disability isn't a burden or something to overcome but a source of innovation, problem-solving skills, and creative perspectives. Join us as we challenge misconceptions and celebrate #DisabilityPrideMonth using #BecauseIAmDisabled

Disabled individuals are not here to inspire others! We have our own experiences, talents, and stories to share. Our achievements and contributions deserve recognition on our own terms. Join us in celebrating #DisabilityPrideMonth with #BecauseIAmDisabled.

Please take a moment with us, as #WeRemember those who lost their lives, those who stepped up to serve, and the countless sacrifices made in the days, months, and years after the attacks on September 11, 2001.

Join us for #GivingTuesday - it's #AllHandsOnDeck! From advocating for disability rights to expanding vital services, together we create a more inclusive world. Support us today. bit.ly/EastersealsGiv…
