July is Disability Pride Month, an observance that evolved from a day of celebration to a month-long event.

It originated in the United States to commemorate the passing of the landmark Americans with Disabilities Act in July 1990.

IncludeNYC is an organization in the city working to increase equitable access for kids with disabilities.

Anchor Rocco Vertuccio spoke with the group’s executive director, Cheryelle Cruishank, Sunday on NY1.
