People are surprised by Taylor’s life, but they shouldn’t be. Taylor has a full-time job, two graduate degrees, her own home, and gives back to her community. She also has a disability. Too often, assumptions are made about what people with disabilities can or can’t do. But when people with disabilities have real opportunities, support, and inclusion, our communities are stronger. That’s why this year’s Disability Pride Month theme, “The World Works Better With Us,” matters. Because people with disabilities are a vital part of every community.

Kyle shares what Disability Pride Month means to him: "People with disabilities are just like you. We want a job, we want a family, we want a purpose in life." That’s why this year’s theme, “The World Works Better With Us,” is so important. Because a better world includes all of us.

This year’s Disability Pride Month theme is “The World Works Better With Us.” Carson, who has cerebral palsy, shares what that means to him: “There are many different kinds of disabilities, but we are just as human as you. We deserve to live independently, be active in our community, receive education, vote, and so much more, just like everyone else.”
