Student Tribune
Highlighting Disability Awareness Month
In 1988, the United States Congress declared October as National Disability
Awareness Month, to raise awareness of the employment needs and contributions
of individuals with all types of disabilities. The Counseling Center and
Disability Services office will be celebrating our commitment to supporting
students with their future goals and aspirations throughout the month.
In 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law to
affirm the dignity of every person, regardless of disability. The law prohibits
discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public
life (schools, jobs, transportation, places open to the general public).
