This Christmas season, let’s spotlight a real story of achievement that proves determination shapes opportunity.

Haben Girma, an American disability rights advocate, became the first deafblind graduate of Harvard Law School breaking barriers in education and law while advocating for accessibility and inclusion. Her journey reshaped how communities think about rights, communication, and access in public life.

Haben didn’t stop at earning a degree she’s used her voice and platform to advance digital accessibility and legal protections, showing that societal change is possible when inclusion becomes a priority.

Her story reminds us: challenges don’t define ability opportunity and advocacy do.

Make Every Holiday Event Accessible

Not all holiday activities are accessible to adults with disabilities or older individuals. From community events to neighborhood gatherings, simple adjustments like clear pathways, seating options, and easy-to-understand instructions can make a big difference.

This Christmas week, let’s focus on creating events where everyone can participate fully, safely, and comfortably. Small changes make holidays truly welcoming.

Inclusion is the most meaningful gift we can give this Christmas.
Many adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities experience isolation during the holidays.

This season, let’s raise awareness and encourage celebrations that are accessible, respectful, and welcoming to everyone—because belonging should never be optional.

Together, we can create a more inclusive and compassionate holiday for all.

🎄 Holiday safety awareness makes the season inclusive.

For adults with mental and physical disabilities, the Christmas season can bring sensory overload and routine disruptions. Prioritizing safety and thoughtful environments helps ensure the holidays remain calm, respectful, and enjoyable for everyone.

Raising awareness is the first step toward creating a season where care, dignity, and inclusion come first.
