Disability Pride Month, celebrated every July, commemorates the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, a pivotal law that removed barriers to societal inclusion. Despite the fact that most of us will face some form of disability in our lifetime, obstacles remain, and individuals with disabilities are often marginalized and misunderstood.
Celebrating Disability Pride Month offers an opportunity to acknowledge, honor, and respect disabilities and those who identify as having a disability. Below, you'll find a selection of books featuring characters with both visible and invisible disabilities, recommended by middle and high school ELA teachers, to enhance your classroom library.
Below each book you'll find the Instagram handle of the person recommending the book and a link to their account.
