Disability Pride Month is celebrated every July to mark the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, landmark legislation that broke down barriers to inclusion in society. But although nearly all of us will experience some type of disability in our lives, barriers still exist and people with disabilities are often marginalized and misunderstood.
One way to acknowledge, honor, and respect disabilities and the people who identify as having a disability is during the celebration of Disability Pride Month. Below you'll find books featuring characters with disabilities, both visible and invisible, recommended by middle and high school ELA teachers, for you to feature in your classroom library.
Below each book you'll find the Instagram handle of the person recommending the book and a link to their recommendation.
