Disability Pride Month: How to Celebrate & Support Creators Year-Round

Bold Creations by TJ 7/20/2026

July is Disability Pride Month—a time to celebrate disability culture, community, and identity, and to push for accessibility and inclusion in everyday life.

What Disability Pride Month is (and why it matters)

Disability Pride Month recognizes the disability rights movement and the value of disabled people’s lived experiences. It’s also a reminder that accessibility isn’t a ‘nice-to-have’—it’s essential.

Ways to celebrate (online + in your community)

  • Follow and amplify disabled artists, makers, and educators.

  • Learn about accessibility (captions, alt text, readable design, ramps, sensory-friendly spaces).

  • Support disability-led organizations and local events.

  • Ask: ‘Who is missing from this space—and what barriers are in the way?’

Accessibility tips for small businesses

  • Add alt text to images and keep text high-contrast.

  • Use clear headings and short paragraphs.

  • Caption videos and avoid flashing effects.

  • Offer multiple ways to contact you (email + form + phone).

Inclusion is a practice. Even small changes can make your website and your business more welcoming.
