Disability Awareness Resources

October 2020 marks 30 years since passing the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Awareness starts at the individual level.

  • Is your workplace technology equitable for everyone?

  • Are your community shared spaces accessible to everyone?

    • Current ADA Regulations

    • List of Current ADA Design Standards

61 Million People in the United States, or 1 in 4 individuals, are living with a physical and/or mental disability. Just because we may not see a disability, does not mean that someone in our community is not facing the systemic challenges of operating in an environment designed for able-bodied individuals.

Language matters in reference to a disability. Some people with disabilities prefer using identity-first language (ie: disabled person), while others prefer people-first language (ie: person with a disability). It is often a personal preference and can start a meaningful conversation with someone who has a disability in your community.

Success is not indicative of a disability, but it does have a strong connection with access to resources and opportunities. We all have complex identities that not only connect us, but also isolate us. Intersectionality plays an important role in disability. For example, different cultural or religious values can create complexities and barriers in accessing resources available to certain communities.

One of the best ways to be an advocate or ally to someone with a disability is to do your own research and find ways to listen to the experiences of those within the disabled community:

PIPELINE PROGRAMS

For People of Color, Inc. is a nonprofit that provides free, high-quality law school admissions consulting services to prospective law school applicants in California. 

Practicing attorneys for Law Students Program, Inc. (PALS) matches minority law students with volunteer lawyers who serve as mentors to provide career guidance for minorities in the legal profession.

“Sí, Se Puede” is a phrase born of farmworkers, who, under the leadership of the UFW, César Chávez, and Dolores Huerta, fought valiantly for equal protection under the law.  As a result of the efforts of the UFW, “Sí, Se Puede” has become well known as a call that engenders hope and inspiration in those who face similar battles. We thank the UFW, whom we acknowledge to be the sole and exclusive owner of the Trademark SI SE PUEDE, for granting us a limited license to use“Sí, Se Puede” in connection with our efforts to recruit, in Colorado, students of Hispanic or Latino descent for our law school pipeline program. For more information about the programs offered by the UFW, please see UFW’s webpage (www.ufw.org); UFW Foundation’s webpage (www.ufwfoundation.org); and UFWF’s immigration services webpage (www.sisepuede.org)
