Disney Music Group recently released several popular songs in American Sign Language (ASL), helping expand access to music for Deaf and hard of hearing audiences.

Projects like this highlight the importance of accessible entertainment and inclusive media for people with disabilities. Accessible communication and captioning help ensure more people can participate fully in music, film, and digital content.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) helped establish expectations around effective communication and equal access in many public spaces and services, including entertainment and media experiences.

June is PTSD Awareness Month. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can affect people in many different ways, including concentration, communication, sleep, memory, and mental health.

People with PTSD may benefit from workplace accommodations, flexible policies, trauma-informed services, and accessible mental health support. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) may protect people with PTSD in employment and other areas of public life.

Increasing awareness and reducing stigma can help create safer, more supportive communities for people living with PTSD.

Highlighting LGBTQ individuals who lived with disabilties throughout history, starting with Frida Kahlo.

Frida Kahlo’s art often reflected her experiences with disability, chronic pain, and medical trauma. Following polio as a child and a serious bus accident as a young adult, Kahlo lived with lifelong pain and disability.

Kahlo, who had relationships with both men and women, is recognized as an important LGBTQ cultural figure whose work explored identity, disability, gender, and the body.

Today, her work continues to resonate with many disabled and LGBTQ people around the world.

LGBTQ disabled people have long been part of disability rights history, advocacy, art, and community organizing.

This month, we are highlighting LGBTQ disability figures whose work helped shape conversations around accessibility, identity, healthcare, culture, and equal access. Their advocacy continues to influence disability rights movements today.
