Disability and Inclusion Awareness Days

Which Day do you Champion?

There are lots and lots of awareness days that celebrate disability and inclusion. Some are more well known or/and established than others. This page, lists many of them, and I will continue to add them as I find them. Which one do you celebrate and why? Send me a message and let me know and to have me add any that aren't currently listed. Some days are international and others are celebrated in the UK or USA.


There are also disability awareness weeks and months and I've also listed some here. #thinkINC
