International Day of Persons with Disabilities is a United Nations observance that promotes the rights, dignity, and wellbeing of persons with disabilities in every area of life. The day encourages communities to remove barriers, improve accessibility, challenge stigma, and support full participation in social, cultural, economic, and political life. It is also a reminder that inclusion benefits everyone when spaces, systems, and attitudes are designed with accessibility in mind.

Event Suggestions:
• Audit a classroom, workplace, or event space for accessibility and inclusion
• Discuss disability rights, representation, and respectful language
• Create a resource display highlighting assistive technology, access, and community support
