26 July Holidays

NDID was started by Justin Dart, Jr., a disability rights activist and former chairman of the National Council on Disability. Dart believed that the ADA was a major milestone in the fight for disability rights, and he wanted to create a day to celebrate its passage.

Disability Day (International Day of Persons with Disabilities) is celebrated to promote awareness and understanding of the rights, challenges, and contributions of persons with disabilities. It aims to advocate for inclusivity, equality, and accessibility for people with disabilities and foster a more inclusive society.

National Disability Independence Day (NDID) is an annual holiday in the United States that is celebrated on July 26. The day commemorates the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) into law in 1990.
