PFW Disability Access Center

🎉 Today marks the 34th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)! 🎉

Since its enactment on July 26th, 1990, the ADA has been a cornerstone in promoting accessibility, inclusion, and equal opportunity for individuals with disabilities. This landmark legislation has transformed education and higher education institutions, workplaces, public spaces, and communities, breaking down barriers and fostering a culture of respect and empowerment.

As we celebrate this significant milestone, let's renew our commitment to advancing these values. Whether through advocacy, inclusive practices, or everyday actions, each of us has a role in building a more equitable world.

Here's to 34 years of progress and to the ongoing journey towards a fully inclusive society. Together, we can continue to drive meaningful change. 🌟

We were grateful to partner with PFW WellRec, Turnstone, and host the US Paralympic Goalball Team on February 25th as they held a demo on how to play Goalball! This was an impactful program for our students and the PFW community and we are excited to continue partnerships that bring disability to the forefront of our greater community and society as a whole! Thank you US Paralympians for joining us here at PFW!
