March 1: International Wheelchair Day, Day of Zero Discrimination, Disability Day of Mourning & Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month

Transcript

Today we observe International Wheelchair Day, Day of Zero Discrimination, & Disability Day of Mourning, and kick off Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month!

Hello and welcome to the Disability Daily Podcast! I’m your host, Katie, and over the past couple years, I’ve worked on a 365-day calendar that recognizes different folks and key moments in disability history each day of the year. I’m turning this into a quick daily podcast, and I’m excited to share this with you!

If you’re committed to learning more about disability and accessibility, please subscribe to the podcast on Podbean, Apple Podcasts, or Spotify and share with friends.

See the Disability Daily Calendar (work on it is always ongoing!)
