Disability History and Awareness Weeks

Dr. Joseph G Joyner

In 2008, the Florida Legislature passed a law designating the first two weeks in October as Disability History and Awareness Weeks. The purpose of this observance is to expand students’ knowledge, understanding and awareness of individuals with disabilities, the history of disability and the disability rights movement through instruction.
