All people with hearing disabilities can read lips. Myth or fact?
To find out, take our quiz and test your knowledge about the realities of living with a disability.
This Sunday, July 26, marks the anniversary of an important stride forward in the lives of individuals who live with disabilities. Nineteen years ago, Congress signed the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) into law, prohibiting discrimination against people with disabilities.
Yet the law can't eliminate stereotypes rooted in misinformation and misunderstanding.
Because you are so critical to our work, we want to give you this unique opportunity to learn about how to become an advocate for change!
Join us in celebrating the birthday of the Americans with Disabilities Act by taking our new and fun quiz to test your knowledge about the realities of living with a disability!
Dispelling myths is vital to the work we do. Once you take the quiz, please also send the quiz to your friends, family, and coworkers to share this important information with them.
With your help, we can build brighter futures for people who have to face the stereotypes and attitudes sometimes associated with disabilities.
Your support helps us make life better for millions of people – thank you for all that you do.
Sincerely,
Eve Smith
